Odd issue with C6 and rsh

| Okay, I'm getting frustrated here. C6 has been a bit of a bear. It

BTW: This is all I get

rsh was deprecated 10+ years ago, along with all the other r things...
they aren't even remotely secure and using them is sloppy practice, even
on a private network.

Tell that to the engineering software vendors who require the service in order to properly operate. If I didn't already know that, obviously I wouldn't be posting this as I use SSH keys for most other services.

I am exactly in the same situation. Our IT department allows access to
their tape archiver only by way of '/usr/bin/rsh server command'. For
well >15 years now.

In my case, what I needed to get it to work was :

(1) install /usr/bin/rsh by 'yum install rsh'

(2) Add the following to iptables :

-A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp -s [server IP] --dport
1011:1023 -j ACCEPT

You may want to adjust the port range by examining the ports used for
inbound connections from the server.

Hope this helps,

Akemi

Did you install just @core? I have done @core as described earlier with rsh and rsh-server and it just hangs so I'm missing something. On the workstation install it works using the exact same setup so I think I'm missing a package somewhere, I'm just not sure which one.

Mine is more like a workstation type install.

Maybe attempt to build rsh*.src.rpm would reveal missing dependencies?

Use "which rsh" to see what binary each is running. Your workstation
install might be using the kerberos version. Here is what Centos 5
has to say:

$ which rsh
/usr/kerberos/bin/rsh
$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/kerberos/bin/rsh
krb5-workstation-1.6.1-62.el5
$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/rsh
rsh-0.17-40.el5

Notice that the kerberos version is first in the path.

I'm just using /usr/bin/rsh, so the non-kerberized version in both locations
