As mentioned, I am just trying rexec/rsh/rlogin, just as a test, on my few computers. I know ssh is more secure..
I have uncommented these lines in inetd.conf shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd rshd -L login stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd rlogind exec stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd rexecd When I try to run rsh locally, this happens $ rsh 127.0.0.1 ls Permission denied. It doesn't even ask for a password. When I do rsh without a command, it launches rlogin. I know because it asks for a password I enter it push ENTER . Then it logs me in, and I run the ps command, and I see rlogin not rsh. And if I give a wrong username then I start doing ctrl-c ctrl-z.. it says rlogin. $ rsh -l sdf 127.0.0.1 Password: Login incorrect login: Password: Login incorrect login: rlogin: connection closed. Is that normal, and which implementations of rsh launch rlogin? BSD? GNU? And why won't it run when I add a command? rexec runs locally with a command, but rsh doesn't. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
