I am encountering problems with both ssh and rsh, on machines running
Redhat 8.0
When I attempt to run a command on a remote machine via ssh, I get a
"connection refused" message
immediately.

When I attempt to run a command on a remote machine via rsh, I get a
"connection refused" message after several seconds.

If I try running the command on the local machine, via ssh or rsh, it
succeeds.
I have created an ".rhosts" file , with the write permissions only for
the user,
containing a line for each IP address and user.

I am using numeric IP addresses in the ssh/rsh commands, as opposed to
host names.
Both ssh(d) and rsh(d) have been enabled and installed on all machines

Here is a brief description of the network set-up:

Machine 1 - Both DNS and gateway specified, Redhat 8.0
Machine 2 - No DNS, No gateway specified, Redhat 8.0
Machine 3 - No DNS, No gateway specified, Redhat 8.0

Any ideas or suggestions toward the solution of this problem would be
greatly
appreciated.

Thanks

Ian
