HI everybody.

I'm having some trouble with rcp in RHEL AS 3.

I have a PC with RHEL AS 3 previously installed (not by me), and I want to enable rpc.

What I do normally on this OS is to go to /etc/xinetd.d/rsh and change the line disable=yes to disable=no, and create .k5login files in the hom directories for the users I want to allow rcp.

My problem is, in this new PC, there is no /etc/xinetd.d/rsh, as detailed below:

[root@df1mabe1 root]# ls /etc/xinetd.d
chargen cups-lpd daytime-udp echo-udp gssftp imaps ipop3 krb5-telnet ktalk rsync sgi_fam time
chargen-udp daytime echo eklogin imap ipop2 klogin kshell pop3s services tftp time-udp
[root@df1mabe1 root]#

Can i use any other xinetd services to enable rcp?

Should I install something else?

It's quite strange to me that xinetd has not rsh server built-in. Every single Red Hat Enterprise I've worked with has the rsh built-in on xinetd.

Thanks for your help

Section 18. Kerberos

Thank you very much leonard, but I don't want to use kerberos as I don't have a computer to use only as a kerberos server, and I'm working in a network without DNS service, so it would be impossible to create kerberos realms.

I tried installing rsh-server-0.17-17.6, and enabling it in /etc/xinetd.d/rsh, but still no luck.

I'm quiet shocked, because, when I enable /etc/xinetd.d/kshell, the response I get when trying to do rlogin or rsh is something like: "You don't have authenticacion tickets accquired". It is normal, as I don't have a kerberos server, but when I disable kshell and enable rsh, the only response I get when trying to do rsh is: "Connection Refused".

I looked on /var/log/messages, and didn't find any log of any attempt to connect to rsh server.

Can anybody help me with this?
Is there any rsh server I can download besides the xinetd's one and not working with kerberos?

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Is iptables or ipchains running? Can you see the server listening via "netstat"?
