rsh login problem in linux



I have RHEL4 machine with IP address 10.121.113.92 and I want not able to connect to that server using rsh. Below are the steps followed by me to enable the rsh

[root@linux ~]# telnet 10.121.113.92 544
Trying 10.121.113.92...
telnet: connect to address 10.121.113.92: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
=========================

In the file /etc/xinetd.d/rsh  make disable =no 

[root@linux ~]# more /etc/xinetd.d/rsh
 default: on
# description: The rshd server is the server for the rcmd(3) routine and, \
#       consequently, for the rsh(1) program.  The server provides \
#       remote execution facilities with authentication based on \
#       privileged port numbers from trusted hosts.
service shell
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        log_on_success          += USERID
        log_on_failure          += USERID
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.rshd
}
====================================
In the file /etc/xinetd.d/rlogin  make disable =no 

[root@linux ~]# more /etc/xinetd.d/rlogin
# default: on
# description: rlogind is the server for the rlogin(1) program.  The server \
#       provides a remote login facility with authentication based on \
#       privileged port numbers from trusted hosts.
service login
{
        disable = no
        socket_type             = stream
        wait                    = no
        user                    = root
        log_on_success          += USERID
        log_on_failure          += USERID
        server                  = /usr/sbin/in.rlogind
}

=============
I then opened the /etc/pam.d/rlogin file and commented the "password " line and "auth       required    pam_securetty.so" line
Next I modified the line "auth required pam_rhosts_auth.so" to "auth sufficient pam_rhosts_auth.so"

[root@linux ~]# more /etc/pam.d/rlogin
#%PAM-1.0
# For root login to succeed here with pam_securetty, "rlogin" must be
# listed in /etc/securetty.
auth       required     pam_nologin.so
#auth       required    pam_securetty.so
auth       required     pam_env.so
auth       sufficient   pam_rhosts_auth.so
auth       required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
#password   required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth


==========================
Commented "auth       required    pam_securetty.so" line in the /etc/pam.d/rsh file


[root@linux ~]# more /etc/pam.d/rsh
#%PAM-1.0
# For root login to succeed here with pam_securetty, "rsh" must be
# listed in /etc/securetty.
auth       required     pam_nologin.so
#auth       required    pam_securetty.so
auth       required     pam_env.so
auth       sufficient   pam_rhosts_auth.so
account    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth

==============

[root@linux ~]# more /etc/pam.d/rexec
#%PAM-1.0
# For root login to succeed here with pam_securetty, "rexec" must be
# listed in /etc/securetty.
auth       required     pam_nologin.so
auth       required     pam_securetty.so
auth       required     pam_env.so
auth       required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
account    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth
session    required     pam_stack.so service=system-auth

===================

Added rsh,rlogin,rexec to /etc/securetty

[root@linux ~]# more /etc/securetty
console
vc/1
vc/2
vc/3
vc/4
vc/5
vc/6
vc/7
vc/8
vc/9
vc/10
vc/11
tty1
tty2
tty3
tty4
tty5
tty6
tty7
tty8
tty9
tty10
tty11
rsh
rlogin
rexec
=====================

Created the /root/.rhosts file with 644 permission and added the host name/IP address from which this server will be rsh connected

[root@linux ~]# more /root/.rhosts
10.121.113.95
first.test.com

================

[root@linux ~]# hostname
linux.test.com
==========

[root@linux ~]# more /etc/hosts
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1         localhost.localdomain   localhost
10.121.113.92   linux.test.com
10.121.113.94   first.test.com
10.121.113.95   second.test.com

==============

restarted the xinetd services

[root@linux ~]# chkconfig --list | grep rsh
        rsh:    on
[root@linux ~]# chkconfig --list | grep rlogin
        rlogin: on
===============
