I am not sure this is a Debian issue, but maybe someone on this list can help me. I am trying to execute a command on a Debian box from a Windows XP box using the rexec command. (Yes, I know about the lack of security, but in this case that is not an issue.) Here is some output from the inetd.conf and syslog: $ cat /etc/inetd.conf |grep rexec exec stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.rexecd $ cat /var/log/syslog |grep rexecd Oct 30 15:54:59 TOKYO in.rexecd[1822]: connect from 192.168.1.118 On the Windows XP box I have a Java program that implements the rexec command, and I have also tried the Windows XP version of the rexec command. The Java version returns with a SocketException error and a "Connection Reset", the Windows version just stops responding. According to the syslog on the Debian box the connection is made, but I am clueless of what happens after that. I am not a very experienced Linux user, so please provide details if possible.
