rsh

[Alan Bocutt]

I am porting a number os scripts from Digital UX to HP and have come across a
problem I would like some help with.

As part of the script I need to execute a rsh back to the same box under a
specific userid this script runs on the cron and changes user to allow an
subsequent action to complete. The problem is that HP remsh will allow me to
call a shell as the new user but then wants that users password even if the
calling script is root.

Any help would be much appreciated

Hi, try one of the following.

1. Include the server name in /.rhosts.
If your comming from another server, include that
server in your /.rhosts.

2. If you're remsh to the same node that's running
the program, maybe you just do:

su - userX -c "Commands;Scripts"

Alan, this is how I check the set up between two HPs.

Telnet from digital to HP
telnet HP
who -Rm >> returns either shortname or fully qualified name. This is the name
that need to be in the .rhosts file

telnet from hp to digital
telnet digital
who -Rm >> same as above...

Also, trying moving your /var/../inetd.sec file out of the way first.
