Operating Systems Linux Red Hat How to enable and test the rsh and rcp in RHEL 5.3? Post 302480346 by citaylor on Tuesday 14th of December 2010 03:25:37 PM

I would very much suggest using ssh and scp instead of these archaic services that have huge security implications. Both "ssh" and "scp" are drop in replacements and work in very similar ways. If, however, you want password-less shell access or copying, you will need to carry out further steps. If you definitely want to run rsh and rcp you need to install the rsh and rsh-server rpm's from the RHEL install CD's (You may optionally need the xinetd rpm as well).
