how to configure rlogin

[senthil_kumar_1]

Hi

I want to configure rlogin in HP-UX. how to do that.

[yulianto piyut · Accepted solution]

1. enable rlogin, edit /etc/inetd.conf and uncomment line rlogin, then do "inetd -c".
2. create .rhosts at user home directory that will be permitted to do rlogin:
hostnameA user_name
hostnameB user_name

hi,
>>I want to configure rlogin in HP-UX. how to do that
means you are not able to rlogin into the system right ?

you have to check this things.
/etc/inetd.conf look this line this should not be # marked
login stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/rlogind rlogind
shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/remshd remshd
exec stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/rexecd rexecd

after removing the # restart the network service.

inetd -c

One more thing to add,
The file /etc/hosts.equiv is a list of host names that have the same users. If your login
name is user1 on one system, it is assumed that you are the same user1 on all hosts listed in hosts.equiv. This is helpful when rlogin is used, and it must be configured correctly when using remsh and rcp. You may want to mention $HOME/.rhosts as an alternative to hosts.equiv.

Hi,

Already you got lot's og information, i just want to add some thing.

host entry(/etc/hosts)should be there in both and remote host.
Entry should be there in .rhosts file of both local & remote host. (In user profile you will get .rhosts file).
If firewall is between local and remote host then ensure that 513 port is open.

Thnx...Farhan

Hi yulianto piyut

what is the purpose of ".rhosts"

pls explain me in detail

Hi Ignited

what is the purpose of "/etc/hosts.equiv"

pls exxpain me in detail

[Pete Randall]

The .rhosts is placed in an individual user's home directory to allow them access without having to fill in a password. The /etc/hosts.equiv file accomplishes the same thing on a host by host basis rather than by indiviual user. The .rhosts file is the only way to set up passwordless access for the root user, by the way.

Hi Senthilkumar,

Enabling the services in /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services is enough for rlogin to work.

.rhosts and /etc/hosts.equiv files for basically to allow the users and hosts based on the authentication

>>what is the purpose of ".rhosts"
pls explain me in detail<<<

this file will exist in individual users home directories. Users allowed here in .rhosts file will be allowed without password.

>>what is the purpose of "/etc/hosts.equiv"<<
This is host based authentication

man hosts.equiv and man rhosts will give you enough details.
