AUTOMATIC LOGIN TO REMOTE HOSTS

Consider two hosts.
host1.domain.com
host2.domain.com

>From hosts(user:deepak), 
you wish to logon to
host1(user:paul).

Paul would create a .rhosts 
file in his directory 

chmod 744 .rhosts 

(No write permission for 
others) The first line 
would contain 
host1.domain.com deepak

Now, deepak should be able 
to logon to host2.domain.com 
as user paul by using rlogin.

Deepak will type
e.g
rlogin hosts.domain.com -l paul

And he should be in.
