Hi : Sorry for start another one, but we looked in other threads regarding this problem and didn´t any solution

We are trying to install LN FP3 onto REDHAT 4 UPGRADE 5 ADVANCED Linux Server.
When we tried to install ASM from Windows 2003 Server (we have Staging Area built in there), the system requires Linux's user and pwd. We put bsp and password and installation software tries to connect to Linux box using Rexec, and then receive the following error regarding REXEC connection's problem(no much descriptive error).

We already verified:

1) Port 512 is available we verified this thru this command from Windows terminal.

telnet <Linux ip server> 512

2) Rexec Service is up and running onto Linux Server, we verified this true

chkconfig --list | grep rexec

rexec on

3) Windows machine's ip is listed on /etc/hosts on Linux Server
4) Rexec service could be used from Linux Server
5) There are no firewall issues between Linux Box and Windows machine, since firewall was disabled for this tests purposes

Now when we receive installation error , tried to issue rexec command thru this command

rexec <Linux ip server> - l user -n ls

And then execution hangs and after about 5 minutes had to close terminal window since there were no response

Is there any configuration file that i must to verify on Linux?

Thanks In advance.

Best Regards

Hello,
If you have verified that you have R-services (rlogin and/or rexec), are installed (by default Linux Red-Hat have not bundled that RPM´S and should be downloaded from Red hat´s network.

By the description of your case, I´m assuming that you have done that. So, if you can´t have response using command:

rexec <Linux ip server> - l user -n ls

I´m suspect that you have problem with reverse resolution done by REXEC.
Please check on file /etc/xinetd.d/rexec some similar to this:
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
log_on_success += USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
server = /usr/sbin/in.rexecd
server_args = -D
}

-D argument disables de reverse resolution.

Stop and start the REXEC service and try again.

Good luck.
