Facing problems with rsh-server installation on REDHAT 5

Masthan — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 01:11:34 GMT

Hi All,

I am getting the following error message, when i tried to install rsh-server package on my RHEL 5 m/c.

[root@hazlx10 ~]# rpm -i rsh-server-0.17-34.2.x86_64.rpm
error: open of rsh-server-0.17-34.2.x86_64.rpm failed: No such file or directory

I also tried the following options but no luck.
[root@hazlx10 ~]# rpm -U rsh-server-0.17-34.2.x86_64.rpm
[root@hazlx10 ~]# rpm -F rsh-server-0.17-34.2.x86_64.rpm.

Any ideas on this ?

Check that you have rpm in same dir:

ls rsh-*.rpm

Thanks, I installed rsh-server. But still rsh is not working. After installing the rsh-server package, I
-> edited /etc/xinet.d/rsh 15 th line " disable = yes" to "disable=yes"
-> .rhosts file is updated
->chkconfig rsh on

I am getting permission denied message.
[root@hazlx10 xinetd.d]# rsh hazlx10 pwd
Trying krb4 rsh...
krb_sendauth failed: You have no tickets cached
trying normal rsh (/usr/bin/rsh)
Permission denied.

Any ideas on this ?

Since you try to access with root, you have to append to /etc/securetty file the line rsh.

It looks like you don't assign points to the replies you get. It will be appreciated.

See if /usr/krb5/bin is before /usr/bin in PATH and change it.

looks like you try to rsh to the same pc you're on.

it means that .rhost in /root directory has to have hazlx10.

service xinetd restart isn't required, since "chconfig rsh on" command enable the service immediately.

Hi All,

I tried all your options. But still i am seeing this problem. I think this problem is specfic to RHEL 5. Have any one seen, "rsh working fine on RHEL 5" ? I havent seen this problem on SLES 10/RHEL 4. System log also not giving much details.

You said that u did "edited /etc/xinet.d/rsh 15 th line " disable = yes" to "disable=yes"
"

You need to chnage it to say
disable=no

Cheers

Is rsh dependent on anyother service or package ?
