sylogd error logging for rlogind
If I try to rlogin into Debian, and the originating machine's IP
and hostname cannot be validated to be the same, then rlogin fails.
That's a feature, not a problem.
In this case, the two machines requesting an rlogin connection are not
listed in our DNS, nor do they appear in my /etc/hosts.
Trying to rlogin from the misconfigured Sun, I get the error:
shcsun8 32 % rlogin mixing
Protocol error, mixing.qc.dfo.ca closed connection
>From Slackware 3.0, I get the error:
$ rlogin mixing
mixing.qc.dfo.ca: No such file or directory
(Now that one is weird!)
On the Debian PC hosting the connection, I only get entries like:
daemon.log: Aug 14 08:10:42 mixing in.rlogind[9636]: connect from 142.130.48.22
No errors are logged. Shouldn't they be?
The problems go away if I put entries for them in /etc/hosts, but it's
difficult to clue in on the problem since nothing is logged.
