- enabling root access for rsh and rlogin on RH9
- Posted by enjoylife_95135 on March 5th, 2004
Hi,
I have 3 systems running on an internal network that I use for
development. I'd like to be able to rsh and rlogin between the two
freely. Out of the box, when I said "rsh system -l root", I would be
prompted twice for a password.
I've done the standard UNIX thing by sticking a "+" in
/etc/hosts.equiv. When I did this, I started being prompted only once.
I read on the web that I need to add rsh and rlogin to /etc/securetty.
I did so, but I still get prompted for a password.
I'm aware of the risks involved, but what else do I need to do over
and above hosts.equiv and securetty?
Enjoying life in 95135,
S C

Dump 'rsh' and 'rlogin'. Install SSH servers on all boxes, configure
them to allow root logins, create a password-less key, put it in
~root/.authorized_keys and run whatever commands on any of the boxes
with no password prompts.
Moving files around (with `scp') comes as a free bonus.

I realize that responding to one's own post is pathetic, but I found
the answer to my question (in ruserok(3)).
Gotta RTFM next time.
