boxA> rlogin boxB is okay


but when i do the below


boxA> ufsdump 0fu boxC:/mydirectory/myfile /myfile, system says error,
boxA> rlogin boxC got error


on boxB, and boxC, i have added the below
1) /.rhosts entries are boxA
2) inetd.conf, enabled shell... in.rshd (got 2 such entries) and
rlogin.d too... even restart the inetd daemon.


on boxA, i have added the below
1) /.rhosts entries are boxB, boxC


i noticed a KEY finding. on BoxB, i got results from the "netstat -an |

grep -i 514".. however , on BoxC, i dont any results from the same

You want help with a problem, you got an error message, and you're
not going to post the error message?  That doesn't make it very easy
to help you.

Hi

When i do a rlogin, rsh to BoxC, there are no error messages. The
system just waits there.

When i did a telnet boxC 514 from BoxA, i got this error message
"telnet : unable to connect to remote host : connection refused"

All boxes are on solaris 8.

You didn't wait long enough.  rlogin retries a bunch of times when it
gets "Connection refused".

BoxC doesn't have the shell service enabled.  Check its /etc/inetd.conf.

Hi

i alrady enabled BoxC inetd.conf to allow rsh, by uncommenting its
shell entry

also, i have added the /.rhosts as well.

and i did a pkill -HUP inetd, followed by a netstat -an | grep 514, but
still no port 514 existence. and therefore, i cant do a rsh from BoxA

.rhosts is irrelevant if the server isn't running.

Did inetd log any errors that might explain why it couldn't start up the
server on port 514?

You have to tell inetd to re-read its config AFTER you change the config. Ha
ve
you done that? See 'man inetd' for more info...

Didn't you see below where he said "I did a pkill -HUP inetd"?

Check your log for errors from inetd that might explain it.

Hi all

Thanks for assisting. Just want to update all the status

I had give up on BoxC. I got another BoxY.

So BoxY and BoxA are in different network segments. I can open up the
port 514 on BoxY. My network team opened up the port514 too. However, I
still have problems with rsh to BoxA. The error message was "rsh :
connection timed out". After some debugging from my network team, they
told me that i need port 513. After they opened up port 513, the rest
is history.
