na_hosts.equiv - list of hosts and users with rsh permission
/etc/hosts.equiv
The hosts.equiv file contains a list of hosts on which you
can enter a filer command through the remote shell protocol
(rsh).
Hosts specified in this file are considered the trusted
hosts of the filer.
It is also possible to use hosts.equiv for other protocols
such as ssh (both interactive and non-interactive) and
telnet. Additionally, access to ONTAPI (ONTAP management
APIs) over HTTP and HTTPS can use hosts.equiv authentication
by setting the filer option httpd.admin.hostsequiv.enable.
Each line in hosts.equiv has the following format:
hostname [ username ]
+@netgroup [ username ]
If the host on which you enter the filer command is a UNIX
host, the user name is optional. If the host on which you
enter the filer command is a PC, you must enter the user
name for that PC in the /etc/hosts.equiv file.
We can also specify a group of hosts using netgroup.
Hence all hosts in that netgroup are allowed to access the
filer.
If you do not specify a user name for a UNIX host, you
must be root on that host to execute a filer command
through rsh.
If multiple users on the same host should have access to
the filer through rsh, enter each user name on a separate
line.
The following hosts.equiv file allows both root and
joe_smith to enter filer commands through rsh on a UNIX
host named adminhost. It also allows joe_smith to enter
filer commands through rsh from all hosts in netgroup
ourhosts:
adminhost
adminhost joe_smith
+@ourhosts joe_smith
na_rshd(8), na_options(1)
