Dear managers,
Because of a hardware failure in our Computer Center, I have to
install the LAT subset on my client stations running DU v4.0B. Since they
do not have CD-ROM drives, I must use RIS to do this. The RIS setup succeeds
on the server garfield. However when I type
setld -l garfield:
on a client, it tells me it can't initialize garfield. Further examination
reveals that the command in setld (which is a script) that fails is this:
rsh -l ris garfield echo "Hello"
(which tests that rsh works). The message is permission denied. Attempts to
use rsh without an -l option succeed.
I have checked the following:
1) The rshd daemon is enabled in /etc/inetd.config on the server (without the
-l option). An kill -HUP has been issued to the inetd daemon.
2) /etc/hosts.equiv on the server contains both the short and long names of the
client stations. The file has 755 permission and is owned by bin:bin.
3) /.rhosts on the server also contains the short and long names of the client
stations. The file has 400 permission and is owned by root:system.
4) We use C2 security. I can log into the ris account directly on the server
with no problems. edauth reveals failed login attempts that seem to correlate
directly with the use of setld (or a direct rsh -l) on the client. I cleared
the failed attempts so that the ris account would not lock up.
Any clues?
Larry
