Newbie: RCP help

[David Lambe <david.lambe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've recently completed "construction" of a LVS cluster consisting of 1 LVS and 3 real servers. Everything seems to work OK with the setup except for rcp. I followed the doc "Setting Up a 5 node Cluster" by editing /etc/hosts, /etc/hosts, and /root/.rhosts . I'm trying to get rcp to work so I can dupe the "web content" between the 3 real nodes. All it ever gives is "Permission Denied" when running # rcp blahfile node2:/tmp/blahfile from a console on node1.

Both rsh and rlogin function, BUT require the password to be entered twice. Is this correct or the reason that rcp is erroring out? How do I get rsh and rlogin to only prompt for password once? TIA
