Solaris notes

1. Enable rsh

svcadm enable svc:/network/login:rlogin or inetadm -e rlogin

svcadm enable shell:default

1. Configure rsh/rlogin with no password

vim ~/.rhosts , add like this

hostname

or

hostname username

1. Enable root login via rlogin

vi /etc/default/login

then comment the following line

CONSOLE=/dev/console

this line is to restrict root to use /dev/console only. So if this is set, root can not login from telnet/rlogin

1. Enable root login via SSH

Firstly, we need to fix the ssh config (/etc/ssh/sshd_conf) to PermitRootLogin yes.

In Solaris 11, root is defined as a role in /etc/user_attr, so if we need to ssh as root, we need to modify this file and then change root::::type=role to root::::type=normal (if this line exists). See the following links.
