Bixby <bix@otcinc.com> Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: rexec/telnet/NIS problems Date: 4 Dec 1995 18:39:03 GMT Organization: The Internet Connection Lines: 18 Message-ID: <49vf87$mb2@news1.is.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: 205.160.149.195 X-Newsreader: News for Windows NT X1.0-62 I have been unable to start an "xterm" remotely using rexec. The call just seems to time out. Same call works great to Solaris box. I've compared inetd.conf and services on both systems and rexec is defined and should be available. Also: How do I enable root telnet access? I tried the login.access file but it did not help. Additional issues for challenging souls: How do I integrate my FreeBSD box with a Solaris NIS+ master? I tried the sysconfig file setting and even manual setup, to no avail... How can I configure the FreeBSD box to automount home directories from the Solaris box? thanks, bix
