kshell

[baiju_3]

Hi ,

Keshell #Kerberos remote shell -kfall

This services (in inetd.conf) is recommended to be turned off in HP servers by security team .

But found that remsh stopped working after disabling .We need to keep the remsh working .
Is there any way to keep r commnads running even after shutting down kshell .

Is kshell services are required to be enabled for remsh to work?

Error returned after disabling kshell is

remsh serverA ll
remshd: getservbyname

Please share information.

Thanks,
BL.

No way to do that. If you note the whole line, it is as follows.

kshell stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/remshd remshd -K

I would rather go for ssh, If I were in your place.

Sorry one correction ,

I am disabling the kshell service in /etc/services and not in inetd.conf.

Observed , as soon as I comment out entry in /etc/services the remsh from other node stops.I am not even doing an inetd -c to refresh.

Thanks,

I think that's the point - remsh and others are security risks - so they want them off.

btw, check out ssh instead...

/etc/services gives the service name to port mapping. so what you see is expected behaviour.

If the reason you're doing this is security then go ahead and turn it off. Install ssh and use it instead of remsh.
