Configuring remsh Client
There is only one file on the MPE/iX system that you will need to
change in order to allow use of the remsh client. That is the file
SERVICES.NET.SYS. However, there are some files that will need to be
configured on the remote UNIX systems.
Editing the Services File
The services file associates official service names and aliases with the
port number and protocol the services use. To enable remsh, you must
edit the services file. Perform the following:
1. Open the services file with a text editor. You may edit the
/etc/services file from the POSIX shell or the SERVICES.NET.SYS
file from MPE/iX, whichever you prefer. Both names should point to
the same file.
2. Verify that the following line exists in the file, or add it if it does not:
shell 514/tcp cmd # remote command, no passwd used
3. If the line already exists in the file and is preceded by a pound
symbol (#), delete the # and any spaces before the service name to
enable the service.
4. Save the file and exit the editor program.
