remshd(1M) Kerberos remshd(1M)

system call: message

Error in executing the named system call. The message speciﬁes the cause of the failure.

shellname: ...

The user’s login shell could not be started. This message is returned on the connection associated with

the standard error, and is not preceded by a leading byte with a value of 1. Other messages can be

returned by the remote command when it executes.

rcmd: connect : <hostname>: Connection refused.

This generic message could be due to a number of reasons. One of the reasons could be because the

entry for shell service is not present in /etc/inetd.conf. This entry may have been removed or

commented out to prevent non-secure access.

Kerberos speciﬁc errors are listed in sis(5).

WARNINGS

The integrity of each host and the connecting medium is assumed if the "privileged port" authentication

procedure is used in a non-secure environment or if the command line options -R or -r are used in a

secure environment. Although both these methods provide insecure access, they are useful in an "open"

environment.

Note also that all information, including any passwords, are passed unencrypted between the two hosts

when remshd is invoked in a non-secure environment.

remshd ignores SIGHUP, SIGINT, SIGQUIT, and SIGTERM, so these signal numbers can safely be sent

to remote commands via the secondary socket provided by remshd. Other signal numbers may cause

remshd to kill itself.

AUTHOR

remshd was developed by the University of California, Berkeley.
