remote shell from solaris to a hp-linux server doesn4t work

[Mario Bucsics]

Hello everybody !

I?ve a problem with my backup because the rsh command from my solaris machine to the hp-linux server does not respond. We have the HP Visualize Workstation with Redhat and the 2.2.16 Kernel. Both machines are on the same subnet without a router in the middle. If i start a backup on another HP Linux Server, on a differnet subnet with a router between, it work?s fine.
Thank?s for your help

Check $HOME/.rhosts and /etc/securetty.

checked, but this is not the Problem. i think there is something wrong with the network options or the routing table entries.

See netstat -rn in both hosts.and add the entry missing.

Check if you hace installed the rsh server & rsh client:

# rpm -qa | grep rsh
rsh-1.16-12
rsh-server-0.16-12

Check the following files:
/etc/hosts.equiv
/etc/hosts.allow

thank?s to all for your help, but the problem is not the rsh installation, i think its on the network layer. The router between both machines does something with data encryption ( downgrade level ?? ), but the switch does not the same. Maybe the router changes the encryption level automaticly and the switch not.
