Hi
My Environment: Linux localcstest-xw41-pc1 2.6.18-164.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 18 15:51:54 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

while trying rcp command like

[root@localcstes t-xw41-pc1 ~]# rcp test.c root@cv-codc-embu:/root/.
connect to address 10.77.241.55 port 544: Connection refused
Trying krb4 rcp...
connect to address 10.77.241.55 port 544: Connection refused
trying normal rcp (/usr/bin/rcp)
cv-codc-embu.cisco.com: Connection refused

Even i created on both machines ".rhosts" file in /root directory.

Try doing

ping 10.77.241.55

and

telnet 10.77.241.55:54 4

To ensure the box is there and the port is listening. It looks like this is a Cisco device, is it configured to accept rcp?
