Problems with "rsh" commands

[Ramesh.K.R.]

Hi,

We have a peculiar problem here. We are trying to run rsh commands from windows m/c on hpux server. When we put + in front of the windows m/c name in the .rhosts file of hpux m/c, the rsh commands work fine. But, if we put user names on the windows m/c instead of +, it fails. Can someone through light on this issue ??

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

I think hp-ux is not able to determine which user tries to log in.

Ramesh,
Is the users visible to the hpux server. This applies only when the users are available locally also.

Hi,

Let me elaborate my problem little more in detail:
If i use a local a/c on windows m/c, rsh works fine(rhosts: ). But, if i use a domain a/c, rsh dosen't go through.

C:\>rsh shimsha -l root ls
shimsha.india.hp.com: remshd: Login incorrect.
rsh: can't establish connection

here, "shimsha" is the unix server name

Hi,

I want to add one more quistion here. Is there any option to put domain name(NT domain) in the .rhosts file of hpux ?? If so, what is it ??

I've never tried it, but would go for the same syntax windows uses:
\
or something like that...

Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I am having the same problem.

[Fred Ruffet]

Elmar is maybe on the way. But when specifying domain, I think a / is used rather than a \. Try the same with domain/user.
