Hi Alexander... Thanks for the reply... I'd already changed the /etc/xinetd.d/rsh,rlogin, files but forgot to list them. The files as they exist are: /etc/xinetd.d/rexec:: # description: Rexecd is the server for the rexec(3) routine. The server \ # provides remote execution facilities with authentication based \ # on user names and passwords. service exec { socket_type = stream wait = no user = root log_on_success += USERID log_on_failure += USERID server = /usr/sbin/in.rexecd disable = no } /etc/xinetd.d/rsh:: # default: on # description: The rshd server is the server for the rcmd(3) routine and, \ # consequently, for the rsh(1) program. The server provides \ # remote execution facilities with authentication based on \ # privileged port numbers from trusted hosts. service shell { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root log_on_success += USERID log_on_failure += USERID server = /usr/sbin/in.rshd } /etc/xinetd.d/rlogin:: # default: on # description: rlogind is the server for the rlogin(1) program. The server \ # provides a remote login facility with authentication based on \ # privileged port numbers from trusted hosts. service login { socket_type = stream wait = no user = root log_on_success += USERID log_on_failure += USERID server = /usr/sbin/in.rlogind disable = no } -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Alexander Apprich Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 1:48 AM To: For users of Fedora Subject: Re: rsh issue (access denied)... Hi Bruce, just a wild guess... check /etc/xinetd.d/rsh and /etc/xinetd.d/rlogin if they contain disabele = yes if so, change it to disable = no and restart xinetd Hth Alex -- Alexander Apprich science + computing ag Senior System Engineer Hagellocher Weg 71-75 phone +49(0)7071 9457-291 D-72070 Tuebingen, Germany fax +49(0)7071 9457-211 www.science-computing.de s+c certificates via http://www.science-computing.de/cacert.crt -- Vorstand/Board of Management: Dr. Bernd Finkbeiner, Dr. Florian Geyer, Dr. Roland Niemeier, Dr. Arno Steitz, Dr. Ingrid Zech Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats/ Chairman of the Supervisory Board: Prof. Dr. Hanns Ruder Sitz/Registered Office: Tuebingen Registergericht/Registration Court: Stuttgart Registernummer/Commercial Register No.: HRB 382196 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
