|
| My /etc/hosts file looks as follows:
|
| 127.0.0.1 localhost
| 192.76.250.1 anomaly anomaly.sbs.com sbs.com
| 128.120.253.1 idsvax idsvax.ids.com
|
| Now, when I start a SL/IP connection between anomaly and idsvax, people on
| anomaly can telnet fine to idsvax. However, anyone attempting to rlogin/telnet/
| ftp to anomaly get an error message. Furthermore, anyone on anomaly who tries
| to "rlogin localhost" or "rlogin anomaly" get the password prompt, but are
| then given the same error message.
|
| The error is "Bad login user id".
|
| I've RTFM, but can't locate a reference to getting rid of this error. Of course,
| I might have missed it at 3am.

I'm not sure if it's mentioned in the doc...
Your problem is that TCP on anomaly wasn't started by init. Your
inetd process can't have an luid set, or else telnet/rlogin breaks
with this error message. The only way to get a process to not have
an luid is if you start it during boot (i.e. have init fork it off).
