Can't rlogin

[O'lnes]

I have add the line " + my_id " to my home directory 's .rhosts file of linux server , but I still can't rlogin or rcp to this host from my unix, can suggest what file I need to config? Thx.

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

does it at least ask for a password?

try adding
server loginname

I am not sure about the remsh config on linux.

Do it the other way!

in your hp box make changes in your .rhosts file in the home directory of the user as

servername loginname


Now try accessing from the linux machine as


#remsh -l


Thanks

take a look at this file:

/etc/pam.d/rlogin

by default it secures rlogin and forces password requirements, which breaks rlogin

change the first occurence or "required" to "optional" and this should open up rlogin features.

Hi O'Ines,

use "rlogin" to login (with answering the password question), and look for the output of "who am I -u", the rightmost column: use the name shown there in your "$HOME/.rhosts"...

HTH,

Hi O'lnes,
You + sign in .rhosts and hosts_equiv will not work without word promiscuous in /etc/pam.d/rlogin and /etc/pam.d/rsh file.

auth required /lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so promiscuous


Thanks
