[SLE] using rsh server - how to start running
I am using a rsh windows based client trying to open up a window into rsh on the opensuse through a local network. I understand that the rsh-server package must be installed, which I have done. I see that it put a file named rsh in the directory /etc/xinetd.d Beyond that I am not aware how I start the rsh-server. I have google'd about with no success as yet. Any pointers would be helpful. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

I have google'd about with no success as yet. Any pointers would be helpful. If you have the /etc/xinetd.d/rsh file, make sure you have disable = false (or enable = true, whichever way) in it. Then restart your xinetd service using something like "rcxinetd restart". See if this works.

Thanks for that. The "disable = yes" I set to "no". It seems queer that that to enable a server they would use a double-negative, but anyhow, that's done. In my case "rcxinetd restart" does not work. Google returned another option, which is "/etc/init.d/xinetd restart" which also does not work. Here I am bogging down in my newbie problems. I would generally want to now do a global find for the file "rcxinetd" but I don't know how to do that in Linux (I come from FreeBSD). My thought is that maybe the command must be executed as an absolute address, or that I need to setup my PATH environment variable, but I don't know how to find where the file -is- if it does exist.

Thanks - /etc/init.d/xinetd restart or you can force-reload

David, I still consider myself a newbie, but as far as finding files, there are three commands which I tend to use: which, find and locate. -------------- The "which" command is useful for finding the first command that would be executed, based on your current path. For example, as a regular user, user:~> which rcxinetd user:~> but as root root# which rcxinetd /usr/sbin/rcxinetd This is on SuSE 9.3. ------------ "find" is a very useful command for doing just that, finding files. Very flexible, which of course means there are a significant number of options available. Again at the command prompt, user:~> find / -name rcxinetd -print prints out /usr/sbin/rcxinetd along with many messages about permission denied, since it is trying to search all the directories under /, even those for which a regular user does not have the appropriate permsisions. ------------- The locate command will also locate files. user:~> locate rcxinetd /usr/sbin/rcxinetd This generally needs to be installed separately (it wasn't a default at least on 9.3). Works very fast, but has to build a database or where all the files are. This database requires regular updates (generally by a cron job), storage space, etc. Hope this is useful. -- Don -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

. . .
The locate command will also locate files.
user:~> locate rcxinetd /usr/sbin/rcxinetd
Just to add to Don's comments: To install locate, you need to install the package 'findutils-locate'. After you have done that, you need to run as root 'updatedb' from the command line. Another way to search for files is to use 'Find Files/Folders' from KMenu.
