Data REXECD on Freebsd 4.8

can someone help in how to enable rexecd on freebsd?

what i did: enable inetd in /etc/rc.conf
in /etc/inetd.conf unmarked exec service

when i do an netstat -a |grep LISTEN

is see

tcp4 0 0 *.printer *.* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 *.printer *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 *.shh *.* LISTEN
tcp46 0 0 *.ssh *.* LISTEN
tcp4 0 0 *.exec *.* LISTEN

so i think the rexec service is enabled

the idea of the rexecd function is that we can create an option in an iseries/400 attention menu to run a local freebsd command on the client.

But when i run a runrmtcmd command on the as400, nothing happens

i tried adding remote systems in /usr/home/<user>/.rhosts
and in /etc/hosts.equiv

as a test i also installed on my win2k pc a rexec service and that works without problems from as400

when i want to try a rexec command from my win2k to my bsd, it says: rexec: exec/tcp: unknown service

has anyone an idea on how i can enable this feature on freebsd or how to configure it?

thnx!
