rexecd authentication with DNS

[jerry1]

Does anyone know how to turn off DNS authentication that rexecd uses.

daemon:Feb 17 05:14:54 stcsvr1 rexecd[3307]: gethostbyaddr: c10229.cesysnet.com. != 10.40.164.46

I won't get into the details as to why it
does not equal. I just need to turn off
the authentication so they will be allowed
to connect to this server.

I think you can´t turn off DNS authentication only for rexec, so, modify /etc/nsswitch.conf to get first /etc/hosts and your rexec daemon will be executed by using local host name

Yes, I have added the hosts to the nis
hosts map and have in nsswitch.conf search
order:

hosts: nis dns files

I too, think that the authentication is
only for rexecd.
