remshd: Login incorrect

[Robert DJ]

Hi,

Does anyone know why this error appears,

# remsh testsvr1 -l root -n /usr/sbin/cmviewcl
remshd: Login incorrect.

Thank you in advance.

Robs,

Verify if your .rhosts file in the remote server testsvr1 is configured properly i.e. to allow root access from your local host.

regards!

Check this:

on local machine:

1. Root $HOME/.rhosts
testsvr1 root

2. Permission with 644 and root:sys ownership

on testsvr1 machine:

1. Root $HOME/.rhosts
root

2. Permission with 644 and root:sys ownership

What it is saying now?

Check /.rhosts in tesrsrv1 and make sure you have an entry for root to login.

Dear Robert,

After doing all above entries in .rhosts and /etc/hosts.equiv , you can check the trust between the servers using..

#rlogin restsvr1 -l root

If you are able to logged in without prompting for password then you are done !!!

If the password is prompted then, remsh command also wont work.

With Regards,

Siva.

Siva hit on what I would guess.
That being that the passwords for root differ between the two machines.

Best of luck.
