I have an old AIX box running some proprietary software where I must use

option for me. The AIX box does not have Kerbos installed.
rsh and rcp are working fine between AIX and an old SCO box which the RH
box is replacing.
I have turned off iptables until for troubleshooting, but not selinux
because various software would have to be re-branded/registered when
selinux renames the system.
I can /usr/bin/rsh remote_server just fine between both directions on
the AIX and RH box.
However, /usr/bin/rsh remote_server <command> fails with
remote_server:Connection timed out error. This is also true with rcp.
linux box is
Linux myhost.my.com 2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Sep 25 17:24:31 EDT
2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
AIX is AIX 4.3
I really need to get this working, can any one help?
thank you

Hi Buddy,
Check the KBase article :
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_40_5338.shtm
Short cut :
chkconfig rlogin on
chkconfig rexec on
chkconfig rsh on
then service xinetd restart
I have verified all these services work on RHEL4, with SElinux in
'enforcing' and the iptables firewall stopped. rcp on a Linux system
does not prompt for a password, so you need to have a /etc/hosts.equiv
on the RHEL4 system that defines the hosts and users allowed to rcp..
You can trouble shoot the network side by running tcpdump on the rsh-server:
tcpdump -i eth0 host remote-host
Note that when you rsh to a RHEL system running rsh-server, it attempts
a high port connection back to the client, so check out what you AIX
system expects.
Cheers
