this may get posted twice, but I didn't see show up in the thread the 1st time.

I'm also having problem with rsh (XP SP2, SFU 3.5)

I've modified inetd.conf for rshd and started syslogd.

I've also added a hosts.equiv to /etc

On my Solaris machine, when I rsh 'hostname' I successful login with out a prompt for a password.

However when I rsh 'hostname' date I get

"Access is denied" reported

What's wrong?

Also is there a way to have rsh not use DNS for it's check?
Some of our machines on not in the DNS server

Normally I'd use nsswitch.conf to control the name resolution via file, NIS, DNS
is there a SFU equivilent?

Thanks
Greg

It's not rsh that's doing the DNS double check. It's rshd; the daemon/server.
SO you want to make the adjustment on that side (if you wish). The man page for rshd has
more information. In particular don't use the "-a" option (but this is a reduced level
of security).

You can extend the lookup (or change the lookup order) to examine the hosts file.
This becomes a global change for all processes doing lookups, not just rsh.
The file to refer to is /etc/irs.conf with any of the /Tools apps.
With the shipped apps you might still need to do it the "older way" by /etc/resolv.conf.
Refer to the manual pages on each for details about the local/file (aka hosts) lookup
versus/including/ordering DNS.
