remshd getservbyname failure.

[Gino Castoldi_2]

Hi,

HP-UX 11.0 L2000/rp5450 MC/SG 11.09 (2 nodes).

When we run this type of command it fails:

root# remsh server1 date
"remshd: getservbyname"

If we run 'rlogin server1' it works fine.
We are not using NIS.
We do have /.rhosts entries for each server in the cluster. This seems to have stopped working
after we upgraded OVO. No OS patches were applied recently.

10 points to any good answer.
TIA, Gino

Hi Gino,

Not shore if you are running 11.0 or 11.i. Check the doc below, patch is for 11.i.

Hi Gino,

Check and make sure "kshell" and "ekshell" are uncommented in /etc/services.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

RAC: nslookup results are the same for the hostname and ip address.

Robert-Jan: We're running HP-UX 11.0.

Sanjay: I'll un-comment those entries in the
/etc/services files and then will do a
'inted -c'.

Always forgetting that you are in the US :-)

Hi,

I uncommented "kshell" and "ekshell" in
/etc/services and in inetd.conf I uncommented
"kshell" and did a 'inetd -c' but it still gets the same error messages.

Hi,

I spoke too soon. It does work now.
I had to make the same changes on both servers in the cluster (that usually helps...).

Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions.
