HP-UX Reference (11i v1 05/09) - 1M System Administration Commands N-Z (vol 4)

r
remshd(1M)
Kerberos remshd(1M)
No remote directory
The chdir command to the home directory or "/" on the server’s host failed.
Can’t make pipe
The pipe needed for the standard error output wasn’t created.
No more processes
The server was unable to fork a process to handle the incoming connection.
Next step: Wait a period of time and try again. If this message persists, the server’s host may have
runaway processes that are using all the entries in the process table.
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.
