I am using linux 8.0. When rcp command is used to copy files from one linux system to another linux system (both are connected ) command hangs and I have to press ctrl-c to come to $ prompt. I have already created /etc/hosts.equiv with valid hostname and user name. Please anybody give me a hint .....
