Hello again,

I didn't get any response to this from a few days ago.  I was able to get
rshd to run successfully on several other systems.  There are two
differences between those other systems and the one described below:

1)  I was able to get rshd to accept connections on Win2K machines, but not
WinXP.  In both cases inetd started without any problems.
2)  The name of the machine that I couldn't get to work has a dash ('-') in
its name.

I am not aware of any other differences.  If anybody has a suggestion, I
would be greatly appreciative.


-Andy

Hi,

I'm trying to configure rshd to start up the nodes in a distributed
simulation system using Cygwin running on a bunch of Win2K and WinXP
machines.  As a first step, I tried rsh'ing to the localhost, which works
okay.  When I use the local machine name instead, rsh claims that it
couldn't look up the address for the client.  I was wondering if anybody out
there has seen this problem before and if you have any insight on fixing it.

Here's a run log and the relevent lines from the hosts.allow, hosts.equiv
and my .rhosts files:

$ rsh localhost ls

Harold DOT Andrews AT DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc
$ rsh dfcs-c77yq01 ls
dfcs-c77yq01: Couldn't look up address for your host
(dfcs-c77yq01.usafa.af.mil)

Harold DOT Andrews AT DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc
$ cat hosts.allow
ALL : localhost
ALL : dfcs-c77yq01

Harold DOT Andrews AT DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc
$ cat hosts.equiv
localhost
dfcs-c77yq01

Harold DOT Andrews AT DFCS-C77YQ01 /etc
$ cat ~/.rhosts
localhost       harold.andrews
dfcs-c77yq01    harold.andrews


Any insight is greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

-Andy
