Uh, just for giggles, rsh between two F24s and check the logs of the target F24 machine. It may be that rsh is generating a FQDN of the sending machine that doesn't match what you have in the .rhosts of the target machine (and vice versa). I've seen this sorta weirdness before with LDAP "host" records. Perhaps the same thing is going on with rsh. Also make SURE you don't have firewalls between the two F24 machines by looking at "iptables -L -n". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - First Law of Work: - - If you can't get it done in the first 24 hours, work nights. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
