remshd error from syslog

Carles Viaplana — Tue, 13 Jun 2006 02:32:28 GMT

Hello,

Since this morning we're receiving the following error:

Jun 13 08:31:22 remshd[1242]: connect second port: Connection refused

What does this error means?
Is my system or a remote host trying to open remsh connection?
Do you have any idea?

I checked syslog and we had never got this error before.

Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,

Carles

Thanks Arun for your reply.

In fact I'm able to execute any r commands. Problem is system received or execute remshd command and it failed, so I need to know what executes remshd command and why it failed.

Is there any log file about network or r commands I can check?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards,

Carles

Hello Amit,

I read thread you sent and it could be the cause.

Is there any way to know which remote system is trying to connect to?

About crontab, it was 1st check I did and all is working fine.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Is the host mentioned in the entry in suslog file authorised to execute remote commands on this server ? I guess not and hence the message.
You need to check on the server which is trying to execute the remote commands - for what is doing that - any cron jobs etc. and not on the server where it is showing you these logs.

Hi Carles,

#who -T

above command gives you IP address of system are connected.

There will be an entry in syslog of the IP address trying to access this system.

Well,

I think I have to detect remshd action online and not later checking syslog file.

Thanks to all for your answers.

Hi,
you can enable remote connection logging in the syslog.log file with the -l option of the inetd. This should show you the IP of the remote hosts.

/usr/sbin/inetd -l
