Hello, Edit /etc/inetd.conf, look for the line that invoque rshd and modify it as follows:
shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd in.rshd -hlL ^^ This disables the use of ~/.rhosts *except for root* (-l) and allows root's rsh (-h). See man 8 in.rshd and man 3 ruserok. Hope this helps. Cheers. Bye. Ph.
