Description of problem: rexec fails on RHEL3 when connecting to any other distro... ( rhl tested ) with "invalid argument" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ALL How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1.Add host to .rhosts 2.Add rexec to /etc/securetty 3.Execute rexec Actual results: user1@host1> rexec host1 ls Password: rexec: Invalid argument Expected results: Normal rexec results. Additional info: Similar to bug 100976 on RHL
Other interesting info, the -a option appears to "fix" the problem... or substituting rsh seems to work too.
As a workaround: LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19 rexec <arguments>
I see this with FC 3 as well. The problem is that the rexec calls sigaction on every signal < NSIG. But one of the calls will fail. The easiest fix would be to simply ignore failed sigaction call.
Fixed in devel branch (FC4) and will fixed in RHE-3-U5.
Fixed in RHEL-4 too.
