Summary: rsh execution
2007-12-24 20:19:00
Sun Gurus,
When I am using rsh commands to execute remote shell command, it gives me
following.
riley# rsh monroe ls -al
monroe: monroe: cannot open
But, if I do it reverse, it works.
monroe# rsh riley ls -al
It works.
my .rhosts file has entry for both nodes.
What else I need to do to use rsh commands.

Summary.
I am quoting Dan's response.
It has to do with my PATH. It was looking at /usr/lib first rather than
/usr/bin/rsh
Here it is:
his looks like the "rsh" command you're using is the "restricted shell"
(/usr/lib/rsh; see rsh(1m) as opposed to rsh(1)) instead of the "remote
shell" command (/usr/bin/rsh or /usr/ucb/rsh). The two commands have
the same name, but are unrelated.
Check your $PATH on riley, and make sure /usr/lib does not come before
/usr/bin; or, use "remsh" instead of "rsh", or type "/usr/bin/rsh"
explicitly to run remote shells.
Both /etc/hosts files an .rhosts files were correct on both machines.
