Hello,

a) Check /etc/inetd.conf. Is this protocol
enabled on the remote server.

b) Check /var/adm/inetd.sec. Is rlogin
managed via access control list?

c) Check Bastille:

bastile -l

Are you running high level of security?

d) Check log files on the remote server
(/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log).

e) Can you reach remote server through
other protocols or tests (ping, telnet,
ssh)? Maybe your network setup is wrong.

As you can see, many issues to worry about.

Cheers,

What are the permissions of .rhosts?
It should be 600: -rw-------

Hi ,

Please check /etc/inetd.conf and sure that "rlogind" is enabled.

there should be a line as follows

login stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/lbin/rlogind rlogind

make sure there is no remark (#) for the line.

restart "inetd" using "inetd -c "

No, it should just start rlogind.

restart "inetd" using "inetd -c "

The above command will not make any impact,

inetd -c " will re-read or refresh the /etc/inetd.conf file" to take effect of the changes to your inetd.conf file,

For more explanation" man inetd"

Thanks,
JOhnson

Hi Bobby ,

Yes . you need to restart the service.As i mentioned use "inetd -c " to re-read the configuration file (inetd.conf)
