hi guys!! once again, gotta say thanks to the group on the list/net! the rsh issue was/is solved. it appears that the access denied issue was due to the user's "home" directory, not being owned by the "user" which led to some internal permission issues on the rsh server box: do when i did a "rsh -l test foo 'ls'", this would attempt to login as the user "test" on the "foo" server, and to do an "ls" of the home dir for "test" user on the "foo" server. in this instance, the permissions issue caused an access denied. correcting the owner/group for the "/home/test" solved the issue. there was no need to make any changes, and in fact, no need to have any local ".rhosts" file... a little tricky issue.. but hopefully, this might help someone in the future in trying to diagnose their issues.. thanks again!! -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Alexander Apprich Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 11:03 PM To: For users of Fedora Subject: Re: rsh issue (access denied)... 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 -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
