In giving the iso 5.0-DP1 a try I ran into the following. I have a
clean and was wanting to create a simple trust between two systems
using rsh and /.rhosts authentication (yea, i know rsh is bad but our
silly software can run over ssh yet). So, I did the usual steps:
created /root/.rhosts with an entry as follows:
trustedhostname.mydomain.com root
and of course chmod 600 /root/.rhosts
uncommented the following line from /etc/inetd.conf
shell stream tcp nowait root/usr/libexec/rshd rshd
and fired up inetd:
clienthost# inetd -wW
I've done this a million times but on the 5.0-DP1 system, the
following occurs:
orrie@trustedhost sudo rsh clienthost echo foo
rshd: Login incorrect.
orrie@trustedhost
As you can see, I get the error rshd: Login incorrect. I removed
the /etc/hosts.allow so it is not a tcp wrapper issue and nothing is
special in /etc/login.conf - it is a base install...no ports even. Now
here is the odd thing. If I replace /usr/libexec/rshd with an rshd
binary from a FreeBSD 4.5 box and make the following link (needed since
a 4.5 rshd binary needs to link to it):
ln -s /usr/lib/libc.so.5 /usr/lib/libc.so.4
The above sudo rsh clienthost echo foo command works fine. So, it
seems like something with the 5.0-DP1 rshd. I didn't see anything
special in the man page that changed rshd's functionality. Can
someone point out where I'm being stupid?
