Hello All,
Thanks to the many who replied.
I had neglected to mention in my original post that we are running t64
v5.1a and that it is not a cluster.
General consensus was that I could safely eliminate the rsh functions by
commenting out "shell","login", and "exec" from the /etc/inedt.conf file. I
system reboot or restart of inet services would be required.
The only possible gotcha might be if the system was a member of a cluster.
I tested it on a standby system and it did indeed prevent rsh, rlogin, and rcp.
Thanks.
John

Hello Managers,
What is required to prevent all rsh, rlogins, rcp, etc from one system to
another for all users?
Can I just remove the lines in the /etc/inetd.conf file for "shell",
"login", and "exec"?
Will removing those lines have any effect on any other functions?
Thanks,
John
