dhanish — Tue, 19 Mar 2002 08:03:30 GMT

Hi,
I am doing rsh to a hpux machine from a solaris machine.Now i have tried giveing
solaris#rsh hpux --> hpux is the hostname of my hp machine and solaris is the hostname of my solaris machine

it works !!!.But when i give

solaris#rsh hpux uptime

it does not give any o/p ...it just comes out to a hash prompt.

anbody has any clue...??

note: this command wrks on my other hp machine only this machine hostname :hpux is having prblm.

What does the remote system report when you give it some other commands such as 'ls', 'date', 'bdf' ?

Hi

does uptime give the correct output when logged directly into the hpux server ?

For all the command eg date, ls,bdf it just comes back at the hash prompt of the system from where i am doing rsh ie solaris machine.

Hi

can you remote login using rlogin if not I bet you dont have an entry for .rhosts or the IP is not getting translated properly.

good luck
John.

yes i can remote login to the server without passwd.The entry is present in .rhosts of the remote server.That works fine for me but i can execute any command remotely.

Hi,

You need to make sure that you have a valid '/rhosts' file for the user that you are using. If you don't this could be an expected result. Can you 'rlogin' to this server without using a password?

What shell is your account running in both Solaris and HPUX? If they are different shell, this may cause the problem.

Hope this helps.

Both solaris and hp root user are using (/sbin/sh).

Hi

have you checked the status of the remsh command after executing

print $?

if it returns 2 then it failed to setup the secondary socket connection.

if it returns 1 then it failed in another manner.

if it returns 1 , scary it says it worked fine.

John.

Hi

copy /etc/skel/.profile to / on hpux.

try remsh again

i tried the same from the solaris machine

solaris#rsh hpux ls; echo $?

1
solaris#

its gives 1 as the o/p.

please ignore my last comment I misread your posting, unless there is no .profile on the hpux server.
