HI

i want to setup a rsh between 2 servers for my SAP Setup.
i know ssh is better compared to rsh , but SAP specifically wants rsh.
i havent used rsh till now, so need steps to setup rsh.

Thanking in advance

If that gives you any troubles, let us know what flavor/distro of linux you're using.

CPCAPP108 & CPCAPP110 are 2 servers who need rsh to & fro

==================|
CPCAPP108 config:-|
==================|

vim /etc/hosts.equiv
CPCAPP110

vim /root/.rhosts
CPCAPP110

Set the permissions on the file to 600.

chmod 600 /root/.rhosts

vim /etc/securetty
rsh
rlogin

vim /etc/xinetd.d/rsh
disable = no

vim /etc/xinetd.d/rlogin
disable = no

3 files /usr/bin/rsh /usr/bin/rcp /usr/bin/rlogin should have SUID bit set on it

i.e chmod u+s /usr/bin/rsh /usr/bin/rcp /usr/bin/rlogin

/etc/init.d/xinetd restart

then do rsh CPCAPP108 from CPCAPP110 server.
