For some strange reason I'm having problems with rlogin (via root) to one of our servers. Another server can rlogin (via root), yet not another one. I've checked /.rhosts and /etc/hosts.equiv. They are configured correctly. I've checked permissions of these files, deleted and recreated them, etc - but things still don't work. I have compared them against a system that can successfully rlogin, and everything seems okay.
What am I overlooking?
Regards,
Jo

Re: rlogin problem
In the .rhosts file be sure and have the DNS name that shows up when doing a "who -a" command.

Re: rlogin problem
what is the error message you get when you try to "rlogin".
Do remeber that if you are logginf in from server1 to server2 as root using rlogin server2 should have an entry in /.rhosts file as
server1 root
Hope this helps.

Re: rlogin problem
Have you looked at syslog.log. If you are logging inetd connections some valuable information will be in there. If not edit /etc/rc.config.d/netdaemons and enter "-l" after the INETD_ARGS= option. Then restart inetd through /sbin/init.d. No inetd -c will not work for this since there was no change to the config file.
Hope this helps,
C
Personally I would look into secure shell for this type of stuff.

Re: rlogin problem
Is /var/adm/inetd.sec denying access from the server that is failing?
Are you being prompted for a password or is the connection refused?

Re: rlogin problem
Name resolution is key. I'd ensure /etc/nsswitch.conf has files before dns and make sure the hosts files are accurate.

Re: rlogin problem
I am pretty sure you have checked your .rhosts, hosts.equiv, /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf etc., etc.,
The best way to troubleshoot is to enable inetd logging.
#inetd -l
This is going to start logging the commands.
Now try to do an rlogin to this system and observe the syslog.log. You should get something like this
Dec 3 12:18:48 hostA inetd[24273]: shell/tcp: Connection from hostB(
xx.xx.xx.xx) at Mon Dec 3 12:18:48 2001
Now check hostB to make sure it is there in .rhosts of hostA.
Most of the times we configure aliases in /etc/hosts but mess up the order. For ex., if your /etc/hosts on hostA is like this
...
...
xx.xx.xx.xx alias1 hostB alias2 alias3
You will not see any problem anywhere but if you try to rlogin from hostB, hostA will understand that it is coming from alias1 and refuse the connection as we mentioned hostA in .rhosts.

Re: rlogin problem
Once again, thank-you. I thought the answer would be something simple, something I overlooked.
