From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: on Linux box (linux1) did the following things. 1. Verified rsh service is on. 2. created .rhosts file in /home/testuser. contents of file are as follows: + testusr 3. Created entry in /etc/hosts for another linux box and unix host. On Unix box or another Linux box I am loged in as testuser and I type rsh linux1 date Get the error message: permission denied. I opened up ticket with Redhat Tech support and they were able to reproduce the same error and din't have the solution. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rsh-0.17-5 & rsh-server-0.17-5. Kernal 2.4.9-e.27smp How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Make sure rsh service is running on linux box 2.create .rhosts entry on above linux box 3.create entry in /etc/hosts file on above linux box 4.Go to different box and login as same user as above linux box 5. type rsh linux1(name of above linux box) date. 6. You will get error permission denied. Actual Results: Permission denied Expected Results: current date and time Additional info:
There is an errata pending for rsh for AS2.1, although i am not sure if it fixes your problem. Preliminary binaries can be downloaded here: http://people.redhat.com/pknirsch/ These packages have not gone through QA yet, but have been tested by myself on a local box and worked fine. If you want to you can give them a shot and let me know if they fix your problem. Thanks, Read ya, Phil
