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!!!

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!!
