Problem with PVM on CYGWIN


Hello,
I'm trying to run PVM3.4.4 on CYGWIN 1.3.3. PVM requires an rsh/rexec
connection to host machines WITHOUT password. My final aim is to create a
pvm slave machine in cygwin.

Here are the steps I follow:

1- I install CYGWIN
2- config inetd using iu-config
3- change hosts.allow as follows

sshd: ALL
rshd: ALL

4- start inetd as a service (using inetd --install-as-service and net
start inetd)
5- write a .rhosts file (this file works on redhat 7.3 systems)
6- i can start pvm deamon from local windows machine using cygwin bash
shell and it works.
 
but i can't run commands without password, so pvm can't start deamon on my
cygwin/windows system remotely. 
I read it is not possible to login into accounts that require password
without password .So as far as I understand the .rhosts authorization
mechanism doesn't work with cygwin. 

* How can I solve this problem of running pvm on cygwin? 

* Also does rsh use any init script (like .profile) to set environment
options.
