G'day!
I was wondering if anyone can help me with a rsh problem.
Current situation:
There are 2 hosts, X and Y. Host X can rsh to host Y and run a command.
However, host Y can not do the same on host X.
That is to say, when host Y runs a command like "rsh x date", the error
message 'permission denied' comes up. Running "rsh localhost date" on
Host Y produces same error.
In /.rhosts on host Y, we added the FQDN, IP address, hostname and +,
exactly the same as on host X. It made no difference.
The rsh line in /etc/inetd.conf was also uncommented and inetd was
restarted.
Some previous posts said to set the permissions on /.rhosts to 600 and
it also made no difference.
We also tried editing nsswitch.conf so that hosts will just use
files...no difference again. Both hosts are configured to use DNS and
NIS hasn't been setup.
Any ideas on what is missing on host Y to get rsh working?
Thanks in advance.
