Rlogin fails

[Nick D'angelo_3]

This NT domain name/network services really drive me nuts.

Anyhow, I have a HP Visualize workstation and I am trying to rlogin to my HPUX
Database server.

I can do a telnet to the db server no problem, but when I attempt an rlogin it
replies

rcm: Lost Connection.

I have updated the .rhosts file on the db server for both the root login id and
my own, but to no available.

I believe the problem may be with my /etc/resolv.conf but I am not sure.

Any suggestions??

resolv.conf relates to name resolution, so taht's probably not your problem. It
sounds like something is either wrong with the way the r services are set up on
the remote server, or there's another network problem of some sort.

Try posting your question in the Networks forum.

Hi ,
If you are setting up newly ,
U have to check the following .

1.Make sure u have enabled rlogind in /etc/inetd.conf.
2.make sure /etc/hosts.equiv has host entry
3..rhosts in the home directory of the user u are trying to login.
4.The user name ur trying to login should exist on the server to where ur
trying to logon.

Make sure your entry in /etc/inetd.conf looks like this

login stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/rlogind rlogind

then run

inetd -c
