This global option specifies the name of a standard Unix user's
.rhosts file that will allow foreign hosts to access shares without specifying a password. You can specify the location of such a file as follows:
[global]
use rhosts = /home/dave/.rhosts
The default value for this option does not specify any
.rhosts file. Like the
hosts
equiv
option above, using such a file is a security risk. We highly recommend that you do use this option unless you are confident in the security of your network.
