Hello!
I need temporarity allow rsh for root. I added -h key to rshd and rlogind in /etc/inetd.conf, kill -1 inetd, added .rhosts for root, but I still can't login using rsh to this machine :-( For any other user rsh works OK Any ideas?
Why don't just log in as a user, then su to root? It seems safer than allowing remote root logins.
Exactly. To answer the question, though: Have a look at file /etc/securetty, which lists on which tty's "root" is allowed to login. Michael
