I discovered differences between you /etc/pam.d/rsh|rlogin could you backup your files and replace them with the following lines? apprich@elmstreet pam.d $ cat rsh #%PAM-1.0 # For root login to succeed here with pam_securetty, "rsh" must be # listed in /etc/securetty. auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_securetty.so auth required pam_env.so auth required pam_rhosts_auth.so account include system-auth session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session include system-auth apprich@elmstreet pam.d $ cat rlogin #%PAM-1.0 # For root login to succeed here with pam_securetty, "rlogin" must be # listed in /etc/securetty. auth required pam_nologin.so auth required pam_securetty.so auth required pam_env.so auth sufficient pam_rhosts_auth.so auth include system-auth account include system-auth password include system-auth session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session include system-auth I'm wondering why this is different on your system, as rah worked like out-of-the-box here by just enabling rsh/rlogin in /etc/xinetd.d and restarting xinetd Alex -- 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
