The pam_securetty module is causing the failure. I'd request maybe a comment in the man page or in the file /etc/xinetd.d/rsh to the effect that root rsh will require an entry in /etc/securetty as 'rsh'. Resolving as notabug. |
rsh-server-0.17-2.5 The rsh protocol is not working as root. The configuration has been modified to allow root .rhosts using the magic -h parameter, as follows (/etc/xinetd.d/rsh): # default: on # description: The rshd server is the server for the rcmd(3) routine and, \ # consequently, for the rsh(1) program. The server provides \ # remote execution facilities with authentication based on \ # privileged port numbers from trusted hosts. service shell { disable = no socket_type = stream wait = no user = root log_on_success += USERID log_on_failure += USERID server = /usr/sbin/in.rshd server-args = -h } Here's what appears in the logs: Mar 22 17:23:10 scratchy pam_rhosts_auth[1281]: allowed to root.umn.edu as root Mar 22 17:23:10 scratchy in.rshd[1281]: rsh denied to root.umn.edu as root: Permission denied.
