How to start RSHD?

zivota · 08-28-2006, 01:05 PM

This is first time I am using rshd. I did install package rsh-server and tried to start service normal way, but ten I realised there is no rhsd service.

What should I do?

#chkconfig --list | grep rsh
#rsh: off

RHEL4.

chkconfig rsh on
service rsh restart

well that's first thing I did but ...

# chkconfig rsh on
# service rsh start
rsh: unrecognized service

is this the output of the command? if it is then you should be able to do it.

Isn't rsh part of xinitd?

you should be starting xinetd service

command> service xinetd restart

This should start rsh service

Also check if rsh is turned on incase you reboot it should start again

command> chkconfig rsh --list

if it is off then
command> chkconfig rsh on

Thanks

Given that rsh is a plaintext protocol, I'd strongly advise against

Is there no way to use ssh?
