unable to remsh

[Mike Spencer]

Pete,

Yes, the home dir's are correct in both passwd files. I just double-checked.

Jeff,

That's one thing I neglected to mention. I did check the inetd.sec on both hosts and there don't appear to be any rules that would prevent my remsh

Here's a thought, maybe it suits your need:

Check the entry for 'shell' in /etc/inetd.cfg

It should not have "-l" at the end because that disables the /home/*/.rhosts functionality.

Mike,

Access to remsh can be disabled for users by commenting out the service entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file.

Access can then be allowed for just the root user by adding the '-l' option in this file :-

shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/remshd remshd -l

If the shell service is enabled then you can further restrict access by editing the /var/adm/inetd.sec file.
