thanks, this is how i was able to make it work: 1. Prepare Linux host to provide rsh Capability: a. check that rsh daemon is installed: chkconfig --list | grep rsh or rpm -qa | grep rsh-server If does not exist, need to install the rsh-server RPM package: rsh-server-0.17-17.i386.rpm. i. download rpm into /tmp directory of the Linux host ii. rpm -Uvh rsh-server-0.17-17.i386.rpm 2. Edit the following configuration files: /etc/xinetd.d/rexec with DISABLE = NO /etc/xinetd.d/rsh with DISABLE = NO /etc/xinetd.d/rlogin with DISABLE = NO 3. Append the following per line in the /etc/securetty file: rsh rexec rlogin 4. Edit the following PAM-related files to allow remote logins from other systems: i. Edit the file /etc/pam.d/login and comment out the following line by inserting a pound sign (#) in front of it, as follows: # auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so ii. Edit the file /etc/pam.d/rsh and change the following line: auth required /lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so to auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so Comment out the following line by inserting a pound sign (#) in front of it, as follows: # auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so 5. Restart the xinitd service: # /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart > There might be more, but something like as follows: > up2date rsh-server > chckconfig rsh on > setup ip table > echo "rsh" >> /etc/securetty > echo "hostname to allow root access with rsh if any" >> /root/.rhosts > > yasushi > a s p a s i a . . . . . . . -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
