Enable rsh in Solaris 10

[Iago77]

Hello,

I'd like to enable rsh service in this server.

I tried these commands but I didn't get any success:

Add these to /etc/inetd.conf

# RSHD - rsh daemon (BSD protocols)
shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/in.rshd in.rshd
shell stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/in.rshd in.rshd

The inetd was not enabled, so a extra svcadm enable did the trick

% svcadm enable svc:/network/inetd:default
% svcadm enable svc:/network/login:rlogin
% svcadm enable svc:/network/shell:default
% svcadm enable svc:/network/login:rlogin
% svcadm refresh inetd

Thank you very much, again

I solved this issue by means of Sun Support:

You are given explicit permissions to log in to the remote
machine, but the .rhosts file does not list your correct machine name.
For example, the .rhosts might mention your local machine's long host
name (i.e., psi.corp.sun.com), while the remote machine actually
identifies it by the short name (i.e., psi) alternatively, your
.rhosts might read machine-le0, while the login request actually comes
from machine-le1. You can test this by logging in to the remote
machine (supplying your password), and then examining the .rhosts
file:

%% cat .rhosts
psi.corp.sun.com appel

Afterwards, run "who", look for your own login, and see what name your
local machine is identified as:

%% who
appel pts/10 Oct 6 09:59 (psi)

In the above case, my .rhosts file reads 'psi.corp.sun.com' while the
remote machine identifies me as 'psi'. These names must match for rsh,
rcp or rdist to work. After I change my .rhosts file to reflect the
who, the logins will work correctly:

%% cat .rhosts
psi appel

(It should be noted that the remote machine determines the name for
your local machine by looking in the first entry of files, NIS, NIS+
or DNS, depending on how you have your name services set up. If you do
not like the way your remote machine is identifying your local
machine, you will need to determine which of these name services is
providing the incorrect information, and correct it.)
