Hello,

I'm running CentOS 5.1 and am trying to get rlogin working. I'm getting the following when trying rlogin r001:

Last login: Mon Mar 3 12:56:32 from domain.com
krb_sendauth failed: You have no tickets cached
r001: Connection refused

I've done some reading and everything I've found has said "don't use rlogin, it's not secure." I'm fine with using it since the client and server are not connected to the internet at all.

What I'm trying to accomplish is have a point of sale server (r001) and a second "register" (r002). The server is going to be running the POS software and I login to r002, which then connects to r001 through .bash_profile. Is there a different way that I should be doing this? Basically the user logs in to r002, establishes a connection to r001, and then is able to run the POS software.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jared

We have some servers in a like setup (no internet threat) so we use rsh (remote shell ...just like rlogin) and rcp (remote copy).

What user are you trying to make this connection with? We do not allow root to use a remote login.
So we have another user setup for the rcp's and such.
You need a host.equiv file in /etc
In the host.equiv all you need is the IP of the server you are allowing to remotely login and the user ID ...so it would look something like:
192.34.34.2 rcpuser

And that's it.
Also your IPtables or hosts.allow might be stopping the connection.
tail /var/log/messages after you get the connection refused message to see if that gives a hint on why it's not working.

Sometimes I will turn off IPtables to be sure it is not interfering.
ie:
service iptables stop
