I have a solaris server having oracle and oracle apps running !

When some one attempts to generate a code, they click a link on the web interface which runs an rsh script from a computer called Helpdesk onto my solaris server and what happens is the web interface show an error message saying there is an error with the code generation. i have not found the rsh script yet.

I want to investigate if there is a problem in my solaris server that is preventing codes from being generated.

Kindly help !!!


Please find the result below :

ROOT@server# cat hosts.equiv
+

i have seen a single + sign !



So + means authentication succeeded ..

and i need to find the entries of my login user account is there in the .rhosts in my home directory ...right ?

i) rsh is insecure and can be broken by intruders with ease. On the long side better replace it with ssh.
ii) What "codes" do you mean? SQL queries? Scripts? Binaries?
iii) Has this ever worked for your current setup? If so, has anything changed?
iv) Is rsh enabled on your Solaris box?
v) Have a look at the logs whether the account (the one rsh tries to use) logs in successfully.
