Can't run rlogin

[juno2]

My RH8 can't allow other host to rlogin to local host sfter the system had reboot , I sure it is correct setting in the file /etc/securetty and /root/.rhosts , what service need to start for rlogin ? can suggest what is wrong in my system ? thx

As root type
chkconfig --list | grep rlogin
if it returns off type
chkconfig rlogin on

if that doesn't work check your iptables rules, it could be your firewall settings, try turning off your firewall, type
service iptables stop
if that fixes your problem you need to open port 513 in your firewall rules. type setup,
choose firewall, and reconfig your settings including 513 as an open port.

step 1: make sure you have installed the server side of rlogin. The result of the command:
#rpm -q rsh-server
should give something similar to
rsh-server-0.17-10

If it does not, please install the package that you can find on the second installation.disk

step 2: activate the service:
chkconfig --level 35 rlogin on (to start it automatically after reboot
service rlogin start (to start it now)


step 3: verify
rlogin localhost -l

I would like to add the additional suggest that you check the logs on the target system. If there is a rejection based on security or the protocol not running, it should be evident there.

The prior posts are exactly what I would do first.

Networking on both boxes is compatible?

Can they ping each other?

ifconfig output?

Just fishing, like I was supposedly doing in Wyoming.

Good luck,

Back off the net in a few hours.

Hi,
By default rlogin is disable in RH8 did you modified /etc/xinet.d/rlogin file for enabling rlogin ?
