Re: rlogin not working

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,

Re: rlogin not working

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

Re: rlogin not working

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.

Re: rlogin not working

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,

Hi Bobby ,

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