[cobalt-developers] How can I rcp from a cron?

["sara starre" <perl_rocks@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My remote host has .rhost set up with

  sourcehostdomain root
  sourcehostdomain userx

If I execute a perlscript to rcp to the remote node, logged in as userx, it 
works great. If I make a crontab entry as the same user, I get permission 
error. I checked crond and its running as root, so I thought addeding root 
to the .rhosts would fix it.

When the rcp is done from the prompt the system message log looks like this:

 Jul  4 20:59:02 node3 pam_rhosts_auth[21831]: allowed to   
userx@xxxxxxxxxxxx as usery
 Jul  4 20:59:02 node3 PAM_pwdb[21832]: (rsh) session opened for user   
usery  by (uid=0)

But on the fails I only get:

 Jul  4 20:59:02 node3 PAM_pwdb[21830]: (rsh) session opened for user   
usery by (uid=0)

(the allowed part isnt there).

Can someone tell me what user I need to add to ./rhosts to allow cron to rcp 
to this node?

Thanks!
