https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/problem-with-remshd/m-p/2557378#M593771 <BR />I have a problem with remshd: very often a remsh fails. On the server I see the following message in the syslog: remshd: connection from ilegal port.<BR /><BR />An rlogin works fine...<BR /><BR />I've checked the manpages, they say that remshd checks if the source port is a reserved port (&gt;512 and &lt;1024), and that remsh uses a function call to get a reserved port for the outgoing connection. According to this things cannot go wrong...<BR /><BR />however, when I manage to do a netstat -rn quickly enough, I can see that the source port on the client is &gt;1024 !!<BR /><BR />How is this possible ? Anybody seen this before ? And more important: what can I do about it ?<BR /><BR />Tia<BR />Stanley.
