Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Issue with "rsh" on RedHat Post 303028607 by gull04 on Friday 11th of January 2019 03:57:07 AM

Hi Don,

The problem isn't on the Solaris (Whole Root Zone) server, all the other Unix servers can execute the command without issue.

This Redhat 7.4 server is the only one on the estate exibiting a problem, the rsh action fails only when a parameter like uname is passed. A simple rsh to the box works fine - I know that this uses rlogin and have been investigating further this morning.

I will spend more time on this today and will go through the earlier posts to check what people have suggested, here's your request;

Code:
isd250# su - autoupd
$
$ printf 'PATH="%s"\npath="%s"\n' "$PATH" "$path"
PATH="/usr/bin::/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/etc:/usr/sbin:."
path=""
$ grep autoupd /etc/passwd
autoupd:x:26488:1:Autoupdate user:/export/home/autoupd:/usr/bin/rksh
$

Regards

rsh server "script..." which $PATH is used ?

When running a script on a distant server via rsh, what is the $PATH used ? I had done a script in the /usr/local/bin but the rsh reported it did not find it. So I assume it is using a separate $PATH but how can I find out ? (1 Reply)

RSH(1)							    BSD General Commands Manual 						    RSH(1)

NAME
rsh -- remote shell SYNOPSIS
rsh [-Kdnx] [-k realm] [-l username] host [command] DESCRIPTION
Rsh executes command on host. Rsh copies its standard input to the remote command, the standard output of the remote command to its standard output, and the standard error of the remote command to its standard error. Interrupt, quit and terminate signals are propagated to the remote command; rsh normally termi- nates when the remote command does. The options are as follows: -K The -K option turns off all Kerberos authentication. -d The -d option turns on socket debugging (using setsockopt(2)) on the TCP sockets used for communication with the remote host. -l By default, the remote username is the same as the local username. The -l option allows the remote name to be specified. Kerberos authentication is used, and authorization is determined as in rlogin(1). -n The -n option redirects input from the special device /dev/null (see the BUGS section of this manual page). If no command is specified, you will be logged in on the remote host using rlogin(1). Shell metacharacters which are not quoted are interpreted on local machine, while quoted metacharacters are interpreted on the remote machine. For example, the command rsh otherhost cat remotefile >> localfile appends the remote file remotefile to the local file localfile, while rsh otherhost cat remotefile ">>" other_remotefile appends remotefile to other_remotefile. FILES
/etc/hosts SEE ALSO
rlogin(1), kerberos(3), krb_sendauth(3), krb_realmofhost(3) HISTORY
The rsh command appeared in 4.2BSD. BUGS
If you are using csh(1) and put a rsh in the background without redirecting its input away from the terminal, it will block even if no reads are posted by the remote command. If no input is desired you should redirect the input of rsh to /dev/null using the -n option. You cannot run an interactive command (like rogue(6) or vi(1)) using rsh; use rlogin(1) instead. Stop signals stop the local rsh process only; this is arguably wrong, but currently hard to fix for reasons too complicated to explain here. Linux NetKit (0.17) August 15, 1999 Linux NetKit (0.17)
