When I use rexec to a server, it work's but rsh does not. Any idea what could be wrong?

Using rexec

$ rexec 10.60.114.192 echo hi
Password: 
hi

Using rsh

$ rsh 10.60.114.192 echo hi
Permission denied.

I've followed https://www.itzgeek.com/how-tos/linux/centos-how-tos/setup-remote-shell-access-rsh-on-centos-7-rhel-7.html

rhosts.equiv

# cat /etc/rhosts.equiv 
+ +

securetty

# cat /etc/securetty 
rsh
rexec
rlogin

UPDATE: oddly, I can log in via rsh

$ rsh 10.60.114.192

  • long time since you asked but today I ran into the same kind of problem. Turns out the user with the problem had her .rhosts file set to rwx. Apparently redhat (maybe centos) checks and it must be r-- (644). Hope that helps. – Tim Jun 24 '20 at 16:49
