/etc/hosts.equiv or .rhosts

[altruist]

Hi

I have a basic question on the below

/etc/hosts
/etc/hosts.equiv
.rhosts


Out of three Servers ( or nodes). One of them is not working properly (error as below). I tried to look in the main Server, for the above files, but i was able to find only /etc/hosts file and it doesn't have nothing about other two servers. How come I am able to connect to second server without an entry in /etc/hosts and not able to connect to third server.

and i am not able to find /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts



I am getting errors same as below [PS; took from another forum]

This is usually due to a configuration error, such as 
not having the Orchestrate install directory properly 
mounted on all nodes, rsh permissions not correctly 
set (via /etc/hosts.equiv or .rhosts), or running from 
a directory that is not mounted on all nodes. Look for 
error messages in the preceding output.

This is confusing - the cut-and-pasted text is from a windows installation.

1.Need to enable rsh on three servers

Ex: Able to do rsh <host1> from host2,host3, & rsh <host2> from host1,host2 & rsh <host3> from host1 & host2

2.Provide entries of IP address and hostname in /etc/hosts/ for all 3 servers

3.Provide entries in configuration file , must contain node entries of 3 servers on all machines

Ex:

{
node "node1"
{
fastname "hostname1"
***********
}
node "node2"
{
fastname "hostname2"

}
node "node3"
{
fastname "hostname3"
}
}
4.create startup.apt and add the file path in administrator.

I know... why not post the actual error rather than crib one from someone else's post?

We recently ran into this error and it ended up being the NFS mounts. I found this out by looking at the "APT configuration file" line in Director. At the bottom of the configuration Event Detail I saw errors from bash saying "Stale NFS file handle". Once the mounts were remounted everything was fine.
