Please help me solve this it would be a great help if i am configuring this
Did you check that the .rhosts file is in the homedir of the account used ?
You are using root, so i guess its homedir is /
Some servers check that ${HOME}/.rhosts file have 0600 permissions.
Can you check that too please.
the permission for .rhosts
[root@mindnic-06 ~]# ls -l .rhosts
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 16 Nov 27 13:32 .rhosts
[root@mindnic-06 ~]#
is that the correct file i am editing or it should be diffrent

i was able to resolve this issue only one thing i was missing in this process it was to disable selinux and firewall and reboot your system once
[root@mindnic-06 ~]# cat /etc/selinux/config
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disable
# SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
# targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
# mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
[root@mindnic-06 ~]#
[root@mindnic-06 ~]# rsh localhost date
