Basic Information

For authentication, .rhosts files along with /etc/hosts.equiv were utilized by Rsh. Authentication was dependent on IP addresses and the Domain Name System (DNS). The ease of spoofing IP addresses, notably on the local network, was a significant vulnerability.

Moreover, it was common for the .rhosts files to be placed within the home directories of users, which were often located on Network File System (NFS) volumes.
