rsh problem on Solaris

rsh problem on Solaris

Post by Brandon W. Metcal » Fri, 03 Jan 1997 04:00:00



I have two Solaris 2.5.1 x86 machines with which I'm having trouble
getting rsh to work.  If I'm on one of the Solaris machines I can rsh
to other machines running AIX, IRIX, Linux, etc...  However, I cannot
rsh to my other Solaris machine; I'm prompted for a password.  Also, if
I'm on one of the other UNIX machines, I can rsh to the Solaris machine
with no problem.  JUST NOT BETWEEN THE TWO SOLARIS BOXES.  I've tried
everything I know to try with .rhosts and /etc/hosts.equiv.  What's the
deal here?

Many Thanks.

1. TCP Wrapper / rsh problem (rsh hangs)

I just set up TCP Wrapper 7.1 on a SunOS 4.1.3 server.  We have all of our
client workstations in a netgroup called 'alltrust', and want to allow only
those workstations to rsh the server.  I have tcpd setup correctly (I believe)
in inetd.conf, and the access control files as:

/etc/hosts.allow

/etc/hosts.deny
        in.rshd: ALL: DENY

(I did a kill -HUP on inetd on the server when I changed inetd.conf).  When
I tested the wrapper out, I used a client in alltrust and a client not in
alltrust.  Luckily, the wrapper logs the successes and failures of rsh'ing to
the server correctly.  However, when a client not in alltrust tries to rsh to
the server (i.e. rsh server id), rsh just hangs.  I tried a test with telnet
and everything went fine.  Does anyone have an idea of what might be the
problem?

    A second, but minor, problem is that if I implement /etc/hosts.allow
as

it allows anyone to rsh to the server, even clients not in alltrust.  Any
clue as to what might be causing this?
