Hi Steven,

rlogin uses /etc/inetd.conf ( inetd ).
Check for .rhosts files/ rights on home dirs.

HTH,

Also, check for the presence of an /etc/hosts.equiv file. This can block those tranfers.

As can a /var/adm/inetd.sec file.

Are you able to do a normal telnet to that remote machine? Once I experienced similar problem. Even though the .rhosts and inetd were proper, I was not able to login to the remote host. And a simple "insf -e" resolved the problem. ( May be because the ptys were corrupted)

hello Karthik S S :

Sorry I didn't say the symptom clearly.
Telnet and ftp is ok, but rlogin behave very
strange.

hello
Karthik S S :

my system is solaris 8 , I don't know if insf command exist in solaris. If you know , please tell me what "insf -e" has done.Thank you very much!!

insf equivalent for solaris is devfsadm (in solaris 8) .. but you need not run this command now as you are able to telnet to your system.

Edit /etc/init.d/inetsvc to enable inetd logging by adding a "-t" switch to the last line of that file.

Try doing a rlogin again and check /var/adm/messages for a verbose log which can help us in resolving this problem.

Ahh Steven, well you are on a HPUX forum, so it is not strange to receive HPUX commands :-)

Did you check your /etc/initd.conf for this line

login stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.rlogind in.rlogind

Hi Steven,

I bet the problem is with /var/adm/inetd.sec :-) . Make sure there are no deny entries for ur host in that file.

inetd.sec is for hpux ,but my system is solaris.Is anybody knwo solaris get this feature.But it is true, it should not be
connection closed, I think it should be "Connection refused".

Thank you all!!
