Problem:

How do you setup rsh on SuSE SLES?

Resolution:

First it is recomended that you install the rsh package from yast. The r-tools are not a default package in the SuSE Standard installation. After installing the rsh package you need to edit /etc/xinet.d/rsh.

Set the Option Disable from yes to no and modify the default Server args from -aL to -L.

Then restart the xinetd with rcxinetd processes. Check with netstat -an |grep '514' to find out if rsh is listen on the port.

Remote Publish only needs rsh, not rlogin.
