Application Error

[Diego Tabares]

I ?m trying to execute an application to take control of another workstation when this error apears:

"Preside could not remotely the generic login script residing in the
controller.

Please ensure the controller software is correctly installed and that you
are running preside from user ID with login provileges ensure that the
target element controller and the CORBA gateway allow intended login user
and netmgr to execute remote shell commands on those machines without being
prompted for a password. this can be done by enensuring that
/etct/hosts.equiv on the machine running CORBA Gateway contains the hostname
of this machine.

Note, the CORBA Gateway can be running on this Machine."

Then, I can press enter only and the message disappear.
Do you have any idea of how I can solve this problem?.

Thanks, in advance.

Hi Diego,

I would check the very thing that your error message points out:

Do you have the local host's name in the remote host's /etc/hosts.equiv file?

Note that if you are executing the command as root, said host name will need to be in root's .rhosts file (typically /.rhosts) vice /etc/hosts.equiv. If this is indeed the case, understand that root's home directory could be / or /root or /home/root. It is designated in root's /etc/passwd entry as the next to last field.

All the best,
Jim

Here's a good way to really understand this; which is probably more important (to your career, if nothing else) than the solution itself:

1. RTFM - read the man pages for remsh, and the See Also's. (the error messages say that remote shells need to work)
2. Follow the directions, and get remsh working between the two machines.

That should fix your problem, and you'll understand why it didn't work - always a good thing.

Good luck
