how to "remsh" from a Unix machine to a Linux or SunOS

elthox · #1 (**permalink**) 10-09-2007

Hi All,

I`m trying to execute something remotely using Remsh. Up to now it worked on HP-UX machines ( editing the /etc/hosts. .rhosts and creating user to the remote machine using SAM) but i cannot configure it to work from HP-UX to Linux or SunOS.

Can anybody help me with this?

THanks

Try include the fully qualified domain names in your .rhosts file.

If a box has been hardened it may be very reluctant to use the old rsh/rexec/rcmd/rlogin style remote command execution.

The old model basically says than a group of machines are equivalent securitywise, also the protocols may pass the passwords in clear.

Today, you will get better mileage with the ssh protocols. The only reason I would use the old rsh etc protocols is if talking to a legacy machine and I can't find an alternative.
