From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19 i586) Description of problem: I have 2 hosts in .rhost, which should be allowed rsh. In /etc/xinetd.d/rsh I altered: server = /usr/sbin/in.rshd -h # as the manpage says and disabled =no and still it wont let root do rcp'ing. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. do an rcp to that maschine Actual Results: pam_rhosts_auth will grant, but rshd will refuse! Expected Results: normal rcp'ing as under RH 6.2 Additional info:
You need to chkconfig rlogin on service xinetd restart As rsh uses the rlogin server, not the rshd (which is used for rcmd) I know, it's really counterintuitive as rsh should have the rshd as counterpart, but unfortunately it's not the case. Hope this helps, Read ya, Phil
