Yes, we run this configuration (Solaris<->Linux<->Solarisx86) all the time. The failure of the 'r' commands (rsh, rcp, etc.) could be due several different things: o configuration in /etc/hosts.allow o configuration in /etc/inetd.conf It is most likely not related to /etc/pamd.conf or any of the other files. Of course, our answer is assuming that you are having problems doing 'r' commands from Solaris to Linux. >The particular setup that we have kept forces us to > >.rhosts files in place + /etc/hosts X-references OK > >Solaris /etc/pamd.conf: >rsh auth required /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1 >rlogin auth sufficient /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1 >rlogin auth required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 >other auth required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 >other account required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 >other session required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 >other password required /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 > >Red Hat /etc/pam.d/rsh >auth required /lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so >auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so >account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth >session required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth > >Red Hat /etc/pam.d/rlogin >auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so >auth required /lib/security/pam_securetty.so >auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth >auth required /lib/security/pam_nologin.so >account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth >password required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth > >Red Hat /etc/pam.d/other >auth required /lib/security/pam_deny.so >account required /lib/security/pam_deny.so >password required /lib/security/pam_deny.so >session required /lib/security/pam_deny.so > >Please advice++ Once we get the ball bouncing, we can start to worry >about security...
