remsh Second port not reserved

[BPerela]

Hi.

With remsh from a host, i get the error "Second port not reserved" (The secondary socket connection does not use a reserved port.)

remshd(1M) says "If a secondary socket has been set up...". But how can I set up the secondary socket?

I don't understand it.
Some idea?

Shalom,

The server accepting the command must have a listener set up.

remsh is an insecure protocol. You should consider ssh instead which can be modified to use ports other than 22.

Check the inetd.conf on the remote server to see if you are using any special options such as -R, -r, -K, -k etc.

Hola hola.

Thanks for your replies.

The problem was simply the resolution of the name of the host. It was not that I expected.

I put it correctly in .rhosts and it works fine.

Also I'll try SSH.

Bye.
