i am not able to see the points which i asigned.. is it OK?

[T G Manikandan]

on sshp13 /etc/hosts file make entry

135.254.229.180 spooky


else can you add the entries with DNS so that the entire would be able to access with hostname.

HI,
Check your /etc/hosts file that your server name is exist or not.

and for rlogin check this line is marked by #or not in /etc/inetd.conf
# login stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/rlogind rlogind

remove this hash mark and check this also

Should Bastille ensure the telnet service does not run on this system?
to run bastille
To start the gui, run: /opt/sec_mgmt/bastille/bin/bastille
search for this parameter SecureInetd.deactivate_rtools="Y"

make it no "n"

then run inetd -c to restart the net

Please add the entry as told above

/etc/hosts

135.254.229.180 spooky

This will do wonders..
This is why we told to check with nslookup

Hi Jeeva,

Naming resolution, you can do many ways.

If you have DNS server in your environment and the server(osshp13) is configured as DNS client it can resolve the hostname. The entry should have been added in DNS server and your /etc/nsswitch.conf should point to DNS for naming resolution.

See the content of /etc/resolv.conf to know the DNS server details.

/etc/hosts is the local source to put the entries for naming resolution. If you have only limited servers then you can use /etc/hosts for naming resolution.

Hey Jeevan,

if you tried all of the above solutions and if still you are not able to rlogin then try the following, hopefully it vl help if u have missed these steps


Enable rlogin between 2 or more servers


suppose there are 2 servers (server A and server B)

to allow rlogin between these servers we need to do the following things

1. login to serverA as root.
2. make entry in /etc/hosts for the remote host i.e. serverB.
3. E.g. serverB 192.168.1.2 # the IP address 192.168.1.2 is of the serverB.
4. create a file /etc/hosts.equiv and make an entry in it for host i.e. serverB followed by the user. for the user from the host serverB who is allowed remote login access to the serverA.
5. E.g. serverB vijay #user vijay from the serverB has remote login access to the local server serverA.


OR

1. login as root to serverB.
2. goto the user's home directory to whom rlogin access has to be given.
3. create a file $HOME/.rhosts
4. make the entry of the host name in this file i.e. the hostname whose access is to be allowed for the user. i.e. serverA
