I'm using rsh in a script to copy stuff from a Solaris 11 master server to a newly installed one. I know, ssh is safer but I would like to avoid the hassle of passwords, as this all takes place in a closed network anyway.

I have enabled the rsh service (this is by default disabled in Solaris 11). I have listed the connecting client in /etc/hosts.equiv on the server. rsh then works fine for normal user accounts. For root, I first got "access denied". Copying hosts.equiv to /root/.rhosts made that go away. But instead, I get "account expired". Which is not true, it is perfectly possible to login locally to the root account.
