Install and activate RCP

[Tonatiuh]

I think I have not installed the RCP service in my RHAS 3.0 servers.

[root@itanium3 etc]# rpm -qa |grep -i rcp
[root@itanium3 etc]# chkconfig rcp on
error reading information on service rcp: No such file or directory

I have looked for it in the installation disks of RH and I have not found it.

Where or how can I get and install the RCP service?

Do you mean RCP or RPC?

[Jan Sladky]

Hi Tonatiuh

if you mean RCP (emote access commands like rcp, rsh, rlogin)

you should install either rsh client or rsh-server for your distro.

try download form RH pages

If you mean RPC (like remote procedure calls used in NFS or NIS)

you should download NFS/NIS client or sever

from the same place.

p.s. don't forget assign the points to other guys, seems you don't take care about it

I mean RCP.
I want to copy files between servers.

Hi Jan,

I have installed rsh server and I have activated rsh and rlogin services succesfully.

#chkconfig rsh on
#chkconfig rlogin on

But when I tray to activate rcp I get an error.

Hi Tonatiuh,

edit /etc/xinetd.d/rsh

and comment the line

disable = yes

Prefere to use ssh instead of rsh. ssh is more secure. ssh needs Openssh installed.
