remsh returns access denied

[krizevac]

I'm trying to remsh from an hp-ux host (member of a cluster with Service guard) to an NT4 server.
The command returns access denied.
I have inserted in the NT4 the hostname and the user.
I have another hp-ux standalone server tha remsh the NT4 server with any problem.
Any suggestion?

Hi,

In your rhosts on your NT server, try putting in all the IP addresses of your ServiceGuard cluster eg.:

primary_node_ip root
secondary_node_ip root
floating_ip root

Hope this helps. Regards.

Hi,
AS steve said Try to put all the hostname related to clustured node. If the hostname are not been able to solve your problem then try with ip-address. It could be a DNS issue.

Thank you for your answers!
I've solved the problem by me.
The NT4 server do not match the -l option (user) in the remsh command line but watch the user you're using to launch the command line.
So I have to do su - and the remsh goes fine.

Thank you again!!!

Hi,

I'd check reverse name resolution on the NT box. If your NT box cannot resolve the incoming IP address (of the UNIX box) to a hostname, then the validation cannot accurately take place to allow the remsh.
