RSH Linux and Solaris

jhilton · 06-09-2008, 02:52 PM

Hello, I am having a difficulties getting the my solaris machine to rsh to another computer that is loading a gentoo distro of linux that I can custom. I already thought about and tried to use SSH (I wouldn't be having this problem if I could) however the solaris machine does not have it so I'm left to use RSH.

I can RSH fine from the linux to the solaris but when I try to RSH from Solaris to Linux I get a "Connection refused". Can anyone help me out with why I can't go the other way?

First of all check if the service rshd started on your linux.

Does rshd really needed to be started on the client when the linux is going to be the host?

No, certainly not. Just on server. I'll edit my prev post.

I did some searching and found a similar thread Here. I followed alot of the suggestions and my setup on the linux machine is similar to his, I still can not get RSH to work however, does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
