remshd error message

[Andrew Kaplan]

I am running an application that uses the remshd utility for connection. The program appears to start fine, but the following error message appears:

remshd: Login incorrect

What file(s) should I reconfigure to correct this error? Thanks.

You need to add your hostname into /etc/hosts.equiv on the remote server if you're running the script as a normal user.

If it's running as root, you need to add the hostname to /.rhosts

$HOME/.rhosts

Thanks

I assume you have .rhosts file set.

server a and server b.

You are logginin as ss onto server b.
On server b, in user ss home dir you have .rhosts file(with read perms for ss)
that have entry

server-a ss

Do you have the .rhosts and /etc/hosts.equiv files setup? Are you using the right login names? Is remshd enabled on /etc/inetd.conf?

Check your configuration first and make sure everything right and secure. remshd can create a security issue sometimes.

If you have configured .rhosts and hosts.equiv as other said and still it gives this error then probably the account may have disabled. Try to enable the user id by modprpw -k .
