Hi
I’m on RedHat 7.2 kernel 2.4.9-34
Every release of RedHat it gets harder and harder to get rexec to work, until finally I can’t. I now it has security issues, but I require it to run development tools on my PC from our Linux server, this network is not connected to the outside world.
I have ipchains running on the system, this was by default during the install and I have opened up the 512 port (I even tried it with all ports open). With this open I can get the password prompt back, but at that point the client hangs. I do get a log in the /var/log/security file that xinetd has received an exec call for the remote system, but I get nothing in the /var/log/messages file. I can run the rexec command locally on the system with out any problem, it is just remote calls. I have added rexec to the /etc/securetty file along with pst/0 through to pst/10. I have also added telnet to this file and can login as root to this system. I have tried the rexec command both as root and a normal user with out success. I have also tried disabling pam_nologin and pam_security for the rexec file in /etc/pam.d directory. However I have noticed some new lines in this 7.2 release that were not in the previous releases, “pam_stack service=system-auth” that I can find documented, but I did also comment these out at one point.
According to the doc on http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/ref-guide/s1-pam-rexec.html I have done everything ask for and more but to no avail. Can any help with this?
