what rpm or filesets contain rsh

unix1adm · 11-08-2011, 07:44 AM

I noticed that part of our build install rsh commands .rpm. I am trying to find out what rpm or bundles they are contained in.

I did a yum what provides and it gave me back a bunch of stuff but nothing pointed to rsh.

We build using the satellite server and kickstart files. I want to prevent these rsh rpm from installing on the systems. We don't configure or use it so we don't need it installed. More secure that way.

Any idea on how to remove them from the kickstart file

I know if it do an rpm -qa |grep -i rsh this is what I get :
rsh-0.17-40.el5

This is what I am installing in the kickstart file under the software tab

I ran a yum search rsh and got this back but still not sure what filesets in the kickstart I need to remove.

Indeed it should be provided by the rsh package. If you want to exclude a package in the kickstart file, prepend an hyphen to the package name, e.g.

Code:

-rsh

Right but what is the package name? Just -rsh in the software area?

EDIT: That -rsh worked great

Try

Code:

# yum whatprovides '*/bin/rsh'
<omitted>
rsh-0.17-60.el6.i686 : Clients for remote access commands (rsh, rlogin, rcp)
Repo        : base
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/bin/rsh



krb5-appl-clients-1.0.1-1.el6.i686 : Kerberos-aware telnet, ftp, rcp, rsh and rlogin clients
Repo        : base
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/kerberos/bin/rsh

This is the result on my CentOS 6 box. If you get similar results, you can safely exclude the above two packages by specifying

Code:

-rsh
-krb5-appl-clients

in the software section of your kickstart configuration file.

thank you for that info. base was what i was looking for. I'll just exclude as mentioned above.
