That message generally implies that nothing at all is listening for an rsh server, at least on the port the rsh client expects. > I checked my "inetd.conf". What did you find? Peeking in /etc/services, it looks like krsh is probably running on the 'kshell' port (TCP port 544), not the normal 'shell' port (TCP port 514), so you might check that you have an rshd configured to listen on the right port. Also, there's the usual checks for Kerberized services: do you have a TGT? If you do, do you get a service ticket (for krb5, host/remote.host.name; for krb4, rcmd.remote.host.name)? (I'd guess "yes" and "no" from the symptom, but it can't hurt to check.) Which rsh server are you actually using? I think even around here, the standard for remote shell access is moving to ssh over Kerberized rsh and friends. You can configure ssh to do Kerberos authentication, and tunnel arbitrary things (including X programs) over the ssh connection. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ MIT Athena Frequently Asked Question #578: "Why can't I use RSA authentication to connecto the dialup servers?" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
