FAI client cannot save log files (mis-configuration?)

Hi,

thanks for the hints!  See below...

OK, that gives a lot of debugging output in /tmp/fai.

Yes.  It does not work, while rsh -l fai <serverip> works well
without requiring a password.  With rcp I get a "Permission
denied."  Funny: interactive login with rsh works well, but e.g.
'rsh -l fai <serverip> date' gives also "Permission denied."

Unfortunately, currently neither client nor server can have NIS
or DNS entries.  Both can act as NIS clients, but the user 'fai'
is not in the YP passwd etc.

SSH is surely the way to go, but I think, for the first step
the non-SSH way is easier.  Maybe I'm wrong.  What steps did
you take for the SSH setup?  Will it work with my non-existant
NIS and DNS environment?
