seems like i had to change "auth required /lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so" to "auth sufficent /lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so" in /etc/pam.d/rsh. i believe the -h is ignored nowadays with pam support. if your open to suggestions, i would strongly recommend using ssh instead. if you use RSA key authentication only, you can bypass the passwd's and still maintain fairly strong security. have fun...:) -- ======================================================================== Rocky McGaugh Atipa Linux Solutions Product Development www.atipa.com rocky@smluc.org rmcgaugh@atipa.com ======================================================================== On Thu, 27 Apr 2000, Sam Carleton wrote:
I need to do some one time maintenance on my SuSE machines. I will require root to rsh into another SuSE machine and get root privileges on the remote machine but NOT be prompted with a password. I cannot figure out how to configure rshd. It is my understanding giving in.rshd the correct switches within inetd.conf is all I need to change.
It is my understanding that if the switching are correct, there is no need to configure all the different host files. Because I am only going to do this for a few hours and then disable rsh again, I want the absolute simplest solution.
Does anyone know for a FACT how to configure in.rshd the way I need it?
