Re: rsh when root

[Philippe Andersson <philippe_andersson@ste.scitex.com>]

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. A.
