Hello all,

I encountered a problem of rsh. When I run a rsh command, e.g. "rsh 192.168.100.42 ls". (192.168.100.42 is the ip of itself) The command can return the result successfully, but it's quit slow. And I found following message in /var/log/message:
Oct 7 01:16:49 c100c3rp2 xinetd[2968]: Bad line received from identity server at 192.168.100.42: 1023 , 514 : ERROR :NO-USER

I think it maybe a problem of my rsh setting. But I'm not very familar with rsh. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you very much.

Is it possible for you to use SSH instead? Not verified, but I've heard that RSH isn't super secure while SSH most definitely can be.

No, I cann't. Though the ssh is working without any problem on the node, some applications need rsh only.
