Hi all, I am trying to set up on a Fedora Core 3 pc the rsh server... and failing for the moment. I have the following message in /var/messages : Apr 20 14:21:26 asma001 pam_rhosts_auth[8950]: denied to vincent@xxxxxxxxxxxxx as varnoux: access not allowed Apr 20 14:21:26 asma001 in.rshd[8950]: rsh denied to vincent@xxxxxxxxxxxxx as varnoux: Permission denied. What I don't understand is that I changed all authorization files I found involved in rsh permissions. This system is on an intranet, so I can desactivate any security I want, but rsh server MUST work. I changed: [root@asma001 varnoux]# cat /etc/hosts.allow # # hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are # allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # in.rshd:ALL [root@asma001 varnoux]# cat /etc/hosts.deny # # hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are # *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # # The portmap line is redundant, but it is left to remind you that # the new secure portmap uses hosts.deny and hosts.allow. In particular # you should know that NFS uses portmap! [root@asma001 varnoux]# cat /etc/hosts.equiv + [root@asma001 varnoux]# cat .rhosts + + And it is still not working. Anyone has another idea ?
