Remote login with RSH not working

atulyahigh · 02-11-2008, 03:19 AM

Hey guys,
Im trying to connect to a Red Hat 5.0(RHEL5) machine using 'rsh'.
This is what it looks like:

# rsh 10.**.**.***
::ffff:10.**.**.***: Connection refused

On the machine(RHEL5) im trying to connect to i tried:

#chkconfig rsh

and it display's nothing.

Also from RHEL5 if i use 'rsh' to connect to another
machine it works fine.

So basically i can use 'rsh' on RHEL5 to connect to other machines. I cannot use 'rsh' on another machine to connect to RHEL5.
How do i sort this out...??

well is rsh configured / installed / running? any reason you need rsh as opposed to ssh?

Well 'rsh' is installed, but not running.
I tried but 'rshd' is not starting and also 'inetd.conf' is nowhere to be found.
I can't use 'ssh' bcoz the software i'm using depends on 'rsh'.
