remshd: Login Incorrect

[Josep Queraltó]

Hello,

Does anybody knows why the HP-UX 10.20
gives me this message when I try to
execute a remote command ?

Thank you

Hi,

to get access bey remsh to your HP box you have to create an edit the .rhosts file in the home directory of the user which you want to remsh.
Just add the remote host name in the $HOME/.rhosts file.
Take care that the permissions of that file is corrent:
It should have -rw------- (chmod 600 .rhosts)
also the owner of that file must be the correct user (chown .rhost

Regards

Thank you Andrea Voss.

I tried it but it doesn't work. Also the
entry on /etc/passwd is ok.

Hi,

Have you checked whether the userid and password you entered is correct?

Thank you everybody!

It is now solved. I discovered that the
problem was that the remshd was takin the
name of the nameserver running on this
machine instead of take its own name

Thank you and bye bye

Hi,

I had the same problem HP-UX 11i. but it solved other causes.
I found that the problem was trusted system mode. user's passwd was not convert trust mode and not exist trust file at /tcb directory. than I could copy another trust file and modify that file, passwd file.

Thank you.

Is the account locked? Are you using the trusted computing base? Are you logining in as root or yourself? There are some questions of which the answers too would provide some good info.

If you are trying to login as root then see if you have an /etc/securetty file and if so what are the contents.

More info would be helpful.
