Hi,
I've tried several recommendations to enable 'rsh' for the user
'root'. I know about the pitfalls and dangers or doing same, but I
must have this because of particular need for the software suites I am
running.
I am able to run 'rsh' just fine for all other users. It's just for
'root' that I am facing problems.
I've attempted by adding 'rsh', 'rlogin', 'rexec' in /etc/securetty
file, i.e. first three lines. Didn't help.
I've attempted by adding the 'server_options = o' & 'server_options =
-o' in the /etc/xinitd.d/rsh file. Didn't help.
On running the following,
# rsh <myhostname> pwd
I get:
Trying krb4 rsh...
krb_sendauth failed: You have no tickets cached
trying normal rsh (/usr/bin/rsh)
Permission denied.
Also, if someone is aware of how to disable the feature of rsh to
attempt connection using Kerberos ?
thanks & regards,

.rhosts and securetty
The usual warning: Don't do it for root. That said, see man securetty.
Add the remote host to root's .rhost. /etc/host.equiv may need some
touch ups too.
