Enable rexec,rsh and rlogin on RHAS 4.0

[Rahul Kohli]

Hi Sachin,

 

Thanks for your response. But as mentioned in my initial email (mentioned below) I followed the same steps but on trying to rsh my RHAS 4.0 machine from my windows desktop I am prompted for password but after that nothing happens.

 

Please suggest how can I resolve this.

 

Thanks,

Rahul

Hello,

 

 rexec, being a xinetd service will not start as usual "service name start".

All you need to do is type the following at the prompt:

 

chkconfig rexec on.

 

After this, type chkconfig --list | grep rexec and make sure that it is on.

 

Regds,

Sachin

 

PS: Also, you can edit /etc/xinetd.d/rexec and change the disable status.

Thanks Tom,

 

Which directory is this command to be run from. I got the following message on executing the suggested command:

 

[root at machine-name~]# service rexec start
rexec: unrecognized service


On searching for 'rexec' I found the following 

/usr/bin/rexec
/etc/xinetd.d/rexec
/etc/pam.d/rexec


 

Thanks,

Rahul

service rexec start

service rlogin start

 

Check firewall to make sure the requests are being allowed in. I am not

sure what ports rexec/rlogin use....

 

Thanks,
