can't get rsh-l to work

[hlin]

Hi,

My Linux machine are not letting me do

[root@na122008 ~]# rsh -l root na122001 uname -a

connect to address 10.32.122.1: Connection refused

Trying krb4 rsh...

connect to address 10.32.122.1: Connection refused

trying normal rsh (/usr/bin/rsh)

Permission denied.



I have mine .rhosts set as + +

My /etc/hosts.equiv set to +

My /etc/hosts.allows set to + +



[root@na122001 ~]# chkconfig --list | grep rsh

rsh: on



I don’t know what else I am missing. Do you have any suggestion?

[likwid]

Yea, use ssh.

[hlin]

I can't use ssh because it an automation script that requries rsh -l

Do I need to change /etc/pam.d/rsh file?

[likwid]

ALright then. Does na122001 use xinetd or inetd? You have to make sure this service is running. You also have to make sure there isn't a chain blocking rsh.

[hlin]

The system is using xinetd. How to make sure xinted is running and how to know there isn't a chain blocking rsh?

Please help,

Thanks

[likwid]

Well

iptables -L

Will list your chains, however I doubt you have rshd installed on this box. What distro is the target box running?

[hlin]

I don't have any table exist. I think the rsh is install because I can grep the rsh from rpm. (please output below)

na122001:~ # iptables -Lv
iptables: Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
na122001:~ # rpm -qa | grep rsh
rsh-0.17-548.13
rsh-server-0.17-548.13

[likwid]

Check the /etc/xinetd.d directory for a service start script.

[hlin]

yes it is started.
