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!

NAME
in.lpd - BSD print protocol adaptor SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/print/in.lpd DESCRIPTION
in.lpd implements the network listening service for the BSD print protocol specified in RFC 1179. The BSD print protocol provides a remote interface for systems to interact with a local spooling system. The protocol defines five standard requests from the client to the server: starting queue processing, transfering print jobs, retrieving terse status, retrieving verbose status, and canceling print jobs. in.lpd is started from inetd. See inetd(1M). inetd waits for connections on TCP port 515. Upon receipt of a connect request, in.lpd is started to service the connection. Once the request has been filled, in.lpd closes the connection and exits. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. non-zero An error occurred. FILES
/etc/printers.conf System printer configuration database. printers.conf.byname NIS version of /etc/printers.conf. printers.org_dir NIS+ version of /etc/printers.conf. /usr/lib/print/bsd-adaptor/bsd_*.so* Spooler translation modules. ATTRIBUTES

The in.lpd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier: svc:/network/lp Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibil- ity for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view config- uration information for this service. The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command. SunOS 5.10 5 Aug 2004 in.lpd(1M)
