I compared the remote machine referred to below that won't accept an rsh
command with a machine that will. /etc/xinetd.d was missing files
originally on the remote machine and I copied /etc/xinetd.d/rsh from the
working machine to the non-working machine. Also missing was
/usr/sbin/in.rshd which i also copied over. I should have included this
info in my original post.
I have another freshly installed RHEL4 machine (called tom) where I choose
to install "everything" (the problem machine in question did not have "everything"
installed but a subset). Using my "cookbook" I was able to get rsh working
in 5 minutes! I'm now thinking that install somehow left out something but
i have no idea what. Any ideas out there?
Thanks.

I'm trying to get rsh set between two machines (local is Solaris 9,
remote is RHEL4). I've done it before (I
have a "cookbook") but I'm missing something. Please help. I'm aware of
the security issues involved using "r" commands.
What I've done on remote machine:
- in .rhosts I put FQ machine name and user name.
- added "+ FQ machine name user" in /etc/hosts.equiv
- in /etc/xinetd.d/rsh and rexec changed to "disable = no"
- added rsh to /etc/securetty
- restarted xinetd
- no error messages in/etc/log/messages when restarting xinetd.
What I've done on local machine:
- added remote FQ machine name and same user name to .rhosts
local machine the command "rsh machinename w" results in "permission
denied"
remote machine command "rsh localhost w" results in "permission denied.
TIA.
