I have Redhat 7.0, I need the rexec work but when I use show me the error "Were are you"
rexec IP -l root ls

Thanks

did you edit the /etc/pam.d/rexec file to adjust what is required for authroizing this process?

[castro_2]

The /etc/pam.d/rexec
# more rexec
#%PAM-1.0
#auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so shadow nullok
auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so
account required /lib/security/pam_pwdb.so

instead of commenting it out.. change the required to optional... not sure if this will fix your issue... but I have never needed to do more than this to get other r commands working
