hello all,
on a v40z, solaris 10 GA, after installing somme patches, i got some 
troubles, and i can't use rsh, but i can use it before patches:

nemo-henry% rsh nemo ls
permission denied
nemo-henry% cat .rhosts
nemo
nemo-henry% cat /etc/hosts.equiv
nemo
nemo-root% svcs -l svc:/network/shell:default
fmri         svc:/network/shell:default
name         rsh
enabled      true
state        online
next_state   none
state_time   Thu Nov 03 08:29:45 2005
restarter    svc:/network/inetd:default
contract_id
dependency   require_any/error svc:/network/loopback (online)
dependency   optional_all/error svc:/milestone/network (online)

and there is also problem with nis:
nemo-root% ypwhich
inet_ntop: Address family not supported by protocol family
but all nis users continue to login without trouble.

any hint?

thanks in advance,

gerard

Hello,

In your .netrc file should have the following entry :
machine <remote host name> user <remote userid>  password  <password>

Hello,

For executing the command in rsh, .netrc entry should be present.

Regards,
Thobias

thanks
could you give me a pointer to a doc that specify it? at now, i notice 
that .netrc need:
      machine ray login demo password mypassword

man netrc
NAME
      netrc - file for ftp remote login data

DESCRIPTION
      The .netrc file contains data for logging  in  to  a  remote
      host  over  the  network  for file transfers by ftp(1). This

i don't want to put a password in this sort of file

He can't, because it's just plain wrong. .netrc is only used for
ftp, not rsh.

From the output above it looks as if you want to connect via
rsh from host nemo to host nemo - is that really what you 
want to do ?

A generic advice - try to rlogin from host "source" to host "target",
then run "who", and put exactly the hostname from that output into
/etc/hosts.equiv on host "target" - often those problems are caused
by issues with short hostnames vs. FQDNs (with domain).

..netrc is for ftp, not rsh

Execute please this:

truss rsh nemo ls

And post the result.

I have a feeling the result is going to be something like:

	truss: cannot trace set-id or unreadable object file: /usr/bin/rsh

rsh needs to be root because it uses a privileged port to connect and
because that was once somebody's idea of security.  :-)

   - Logn

True :-) 

rsh must be executed as root

Thanks, Logn

thanks to all people who reply, i found error in /etc/hosts
after correcting entries in this file, everything goes ok
