I can ssh into the linux server and run the script desired -- just can't get another system to rexec into the linux server and do ANYTHING -- in the logs posted in reply to another helpful offer, I was trying to do a simple ls. The goal is to have the non-linux server rexec into the linux server and run the sftp script on yet another box.
The linux server also is available for a little bit of ftp of files stored on itself -- still in testing mode. -----Original Message----- From: Bob Buckley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2003 12:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: rexec via xinetd help The one thing I see that on one has addressed: sftp and ssh. ftp will not work over ssh. before you can execute anything you must set up a secure tunnel between the servers if ssh is the only connection method besides telent, rlogin, etc. mayby something to go on.

I have very little influence over the configuration of the non-linux server. I have almost total control over how the linux server is configured. In it's current configuration, the non-linux server doesn't support ssh but is expected to get data from an sftp site. When I attempt to run the script from the non-linux server, it fails complaining: "no such file or directory; error in rexec system call; the following system error may itself be in error; illegal seek". I've tweaked just about everything in the xinetd.conf file, and the rexec file in the xinetd.d directory of the linux server. I also have host.allow, host.deny. and hosts equiv files. In the home directory for the user account that's trying to run the script, I have a hidden rhosts file. A linux server can run sftp and ssh just fine, but doesn't respond to a request from the non-linux server to run the script. A linux desktop I have can run rexec commands on a different *nix box just fine, but not on the linux server. I'm open to suggestions! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Charlotte Sawyer Oregon Dept of Revenue Network Technical Support voice: 503-945-8050 fax: 503-947-1154 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
