[SunHELP] Why I failed to run rsh command ?

[DAUBIGNE Sebastien - BOR]

I think it's not a .rhost  and hosts.equiv issue, as the rlogin (or rsh
without command) works fine. Both authentification scheme are =
identical.

The server-side daemon for rlogin/rsh without command is in.rlogind.
The server-side daemon for rsh with command is in.rshd.

You'd better check if theses services are activated. Check netstat and
/etc/inetd.conf :

> netstat -a | egrep 'shell|login' | grep LISTEN
      *.shell              *.*                0      0     0      0 =
LISTEN
      *.login              *.*                0      0     0      0 =
LISTEN
>  egrep 'shell|login' /etc/inetd.conf
shell   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/in.rshd       in.rshd
login   stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/in.rlogind    =
in.rlogind
>  egrep 'shell|login' /etc/services =20
login           513/tcp
shell           514/tcp         cmd             # no passwords used

	Hi

	/.rhosts will work if you are root, but you will need
/etc/hosts.equiv
	setting up for non root I think (it should be in the man page for
rlogin/rsh
	etc)
