to disable rlogin edit file /etc/inetd.conf and comment the line

login stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/rlogind rlogind

Please look for file /etc/host.equiv or $HOME/.rhosts and remove. please see man page of rsh and rlogin.

don't forget to restart the inetd daemon after changes.

#inetd -c

Hi Eric,

Nowdays these so called insecure ARPA/Berkely services not widely used because of its security risk. Best alternate would be secure shell services which uses high level encryption/decryption mechanism to secure the data over network.

So just comment out rlogin/remsh/rexec services in /etc/inetd file and start using SSH.

As said, re-read the inetd file using the below command after making the changes.

#inetd -c

Hi,

Comment this line as below in /etc/inetd.conf

#login stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/rlogind rlogind

then restart with inetd -c
