I would think you would need to specify the username to login with. See Microsoft rsh

helow budyy,
actually i made .rhosts file in home directory of the user and /etc/hosts.eqiv file.........over the unix server.........i included the computers host name and username with which user have logon windows....hence by that that username can access the unix server...........

no after that the error which i posted in my first question is still there......
can anyone give me the complete process for accessing the UNIX server thru windows by the use of RSH.....

thank u

I think RTM is correct. if you dont supply the username, it takes windows login username. Do you have the Windows username present on unix machine, if not use unix username

try rsh -l <unixusername> ls

The username must be a Unix account
