rsh-server rpm location

Can anyone clue me into the directory where the rsh-server RPM is located?

Thanks

use the locate or find command if you loaded all the rpm's on your server.
Normally you'll find it on one of the CD's in your distro.
If you didn't install rsh-server at build time it is not normally stored on your system.

yeah... i was afraid of that. I tried locate and couldn't find it.... I thought I was using the wrong wildcards, because I don't know how the exact filename is spelled.

I've inherited some of these servers and some seem to have it and some don't (now that I have found it on a few)... no standards.

Ok... I've done a "locate" on a server where I know we installed the rsh-server package... Does the original install file go away after it's initialized?

Assuming all rpm's were uploaded onto the server, were would it be located? I can't find the distro cd's.

Thanks.

No, the rpm file would not go away after an installation.

type:
chkconfig --list | grep rsh
to see if it's installed.

Normally that is a bad assumption. Most do not upload the entire CD's to the server. Maybe talk to whoever did the OS load for you.
Otherwise you can google for it, just be sure you get the rpm that is compatible with whatever version of Linux you are running. Otherwise it simply won't work.

If they are the same OS just ftp the rpm file over to the servers that don't have it.
Or .... you might be able to download the same distro to get the files from there.

So... here we are:

Code:

[root@a144a ~]# chkconfig --list|grep rsh
        rsh:    on

I know it's on this particular server. Unfortunately, I've done a locate and I can't seem to find it's location. I would love to ftp it to the other server.

I even have the filename and setup they used in the documentation. However, now I'm learning that the other server (where I want the rsh) is 32bit and the 64bit version was the one utilized on the initial test server.

Quote:

1) Install rsh-server RPM package onto the client server.

• Based on the operating system version that is running (32-bit, 64-bit, Redhat v3, v4, etc.), the corresponding rsh-server package must be installed.
• The following example denotes the 64-bit version on RedHat 4:

rpm –Uvh rsh-server-0.17-34.2.x86_64.rpm (the 64 at the end denotes the 64-bit package)

So there's the documentation for the server that we checked above. So the RPM is there, but where? All the servers somewhat mirror each other (so I'm told, so the RPM is "suppose" to be there... somewhere)

Ok... I couldn't find the actual file (I'm a Linux newb, btw)... so I took a shot in the dark and ran it anyway:

Code:

rpm –Uvh rsh-server-0.17-34.2.x86.rpm

...and apparently they do have a standard install across the board on the servers. It worked. But, thanks for the help!
