  • How to start rexecd daemon in RedHat 7.9 ?

    Posted on

    Dear Sir:
    Our client is using RedHat 7.9
    and I need to make "rexec command" work

    For this, I found that "rexecd daemon" must be started.
    I guess this daemon uses port number 512

    In RedHat 7.9, xinetd service manages rsh, rlogin, rexec together
    It (xinetd) started rsh by default, I guess and rsh uses port 514
    However port 512 is not enabled now

    So I guess, the main problem is, rexecd daemon is not running now
    I tried to make it run by following google search help.
    However, I cannot figure out how to enable rexecd daemon

    So could anyone of you please help me with this main issue?

    I need to run a command like below

    rexec -l kxenadmin -p kxenadmin localhost (some command)

    Thank you, everyone and have a nice day
