rlogin authentication failure with RHEL

[wilville]

We have just installed RHEL332 and found there were no rlogin, rexec, or rsh packages installed. Fair enough... I installed them through installing rsh-server-0.17-17. Now rexec seems to work, rsh tries to work but doesn't quite, and rlogin issues a message about Module unknown and fails. I find a message in the log file about failing to authenticate, so I suspect a PAM module or two is ( are ) missing. But what is missing? Anyone else seeing this kind of thing, and if so anyone know what to do about it?

Thanks!!!

Have you tried ssh instead?

Actually, yes. Ssh has been working fine. What I just a few minutes ago discovered was that someone who predates me got "helpful" and spliced some SuSE authorization code into this mix, and it confused the works MIGHTILY. I am straightening that out to do this thing right keeping my Red Hat install all Red Hat and see if that helps. It can't hurt. I hate cleaning up other people's messes. ;^)

Thanks!!
