I'm trying to use Xwin-32 and connect to my Linux machine by rlogin. I
have some experience doing this on OSF machines, there really isn't a lot
to it. After I uncommented the appropriate lines in inetd.conf so the
rlogin and rexec demons would actually get going, I was at a stage where I
could rlogin as a normal interactive session.
Now, when I try to launch an Xwin session, I get a "Connection Closed"
error. The troubleshooting section of the manual would probably be pretty
useful to someone who knew what they were doing: it says that the problem
is one of three things:
-You are trying to connect using rexec and rexecd or in.rexec will not
allow the connection to continue.
-Your host is running SunOs...(I think I can ignore this one)
-Your host is running a tcp wrapper that closes the connection for security
reasons.
What's a TCP wrapper, how do I tell if I'm using one, and how do I turn it
off? If it turns out that's not the problem, am I just out of luck?
thanks...Greg
