I have 2 systems with RH9, glibc-2.3.2-27.9 and rsh updated to 0.17-17.1 The first: Kernel 2.4.21 SMP compiled by myself on a 4 Pentium 133 IT WORKS ! The second: Kernel 2.4.20-19.9 NO SMP installed from RPM on a Pentium4 2GHz invalid argument. I think problem is in /lib/tls/libc.so.6 -> libc-2.3.2.so
In the first working system I described in the previous message I have the
following:
# ldd /usr/bin/rexec
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x4001d000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
In the second not working system I have the following:
# ldd /usr/bin/rexec
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x42000000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
i386 version of glibc does not contain /lib/tls as i686 does
I've tried to update to i386 version to check if it works on a i686 system but
the whole system crashed and i don't know how to resume.
Well, neither RHL7.3 nor RHL9 is supported anymore. rexec certainly works for me on various distribution versions and this report lacks all important details. It very much depends on various configuration files and firewall settings. If you suspect NTPL libc (I don't see why it would have anything to do with rexec), you can LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.1 or LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5 to use a different libc version. If you manage to reproduce this with a supported release and provide all relevant configuration files so that it can be reproduced, please reopen.

I had the same error "rexec: Invalid argument" on my RedHat9 and FedoraCore3 systems and I downloaded rsh-0.17-24 and rsh-server-0.17-24 from fedora-redhat updates and finally they work on both the systems without any other modification. :-) |
