On each machine create a file ".rhosts" in your own personal home directory. you will need one line per host in this file (I just make the files identical to keep this simple). The first thing on a line is the host name, the second is a username (yours) IE: scrappy hyatt hyatt hyatt plasma hyatt and so forth. If that doesn't fix it, you might try going to /etc/hosts.equiv and putting all the names of your hosts there. Since I don't know which version of linux you are running, it is hard to figure out exactly what the problem is. .rhosts will probably fix the problem. Check your UID on each machine. If they match, things are also easier to make work.
