Which version of Solaris? Solaris 10 do not have the entry in the /etc/inetd.conf. You will need to add it to the /etc/services file then restart the daemon. svcadm restart inetd

Other versions of solaris, as mentioned, edit the file, then restart the network daemon

rsh is already present in /etc/services in all Solaris releases:

Code:

shell   514/tcp   cmd   # no passwords used

To enable it, run

Code:

svcadm enable shell:default

then set the rhosts file(s) appropriately.

By the way, rsh is a pretty insecure protocol, ssh should be used instead.

But I don't see it in my Solaris 10 system... :/ Anyway, thanks.

That may be due to a choice you made when installing the box.

Solaris 10 installer asks you whether you want to enable "all" n/w services or only ssh.
