rcp connection refused

807557Aug 30 2007
I'm trying to rcp between two solaris 10 systems. I have entries in /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts to allow for the source host to connect. I am able to rlogin and rsh to the destination server without additional authentication required. But any attempt to rcp in either direction generates a 'Connection refused' error on the destination server.

I have attempted various formats of the rcp command to no avail. I can rcp from either solaris 10 box to one running solaris 8 without any issues. I am presuming that I am therefore missing something either in my setup or perhaps there is a service that needs to be enabled.

Any and all suggestions appreciated.
