REMOTE SHELL FAILING (remsh)

[Vassilios]

thanks Torsten,
but what does this mean? the + and - sign??

+
-hostB
+ root

thanks again

Assuming this is in a .rhosts file in a users home dir.

+ -- Access allowed for user from any host

-hostb -- All access from hostb is DENIED

+ root -- Access allowed for root from any host EXCEPT hostb. Note the space between the '+' and 'root'.



# man rhosts
See example #4 at the end of the man page.

Well, it's explicitly written ... see above.

In general "+" is a wildcard stands for "any" - "-" for "non" or "except".
It depends, what you "write around" ...

Torsten, you are right.. sorry, Im just a bit slow.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Does anyone here know if there's a snooping tool on HPUX? The same as what we have on sun?

[TTr]

The snoop equivalent in hp-ux is tcpdump. You may already have it in /opt/iexpress/tcpdump, if not download it from http://software.hp.com

I think tusc as I mentioned in my previous reply is a better tool to use to trace processes and find errors.
