rlogin and rsh for potato?
I just installed potato (2.2) on a new server and tried unsuccessfully to set
up a daily rdist to it from an old machine running bo (2.0). After rdist
failed, I discovered that rsh, which rdist uses by default, (and rlogin) are
seriously disabled under potato. I guess it's a security feature. Not only are
the services disabled in /etc/inetd.conf but the executables /usr/sbin/in.rsh
and /usr/bin/in.rlogin don't exist. A search of the available packages with
dselect did not turn up anything I could recognize.
One option would be to run rdist with ssh, but I also can't find an ssh in the
bo archive. For that matter, does potato support rsh?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
