When debugging problems with rlogin setup, you can use any of the
following:
- The -d option of the inetd command
- The -d option of the rlogind command
- The /tmp/.stderr file
If there are problems on the client side, you might get the following
message:
- invalid logon name or password. This message is misleading
and often is caused by setup problems on the z/OS UNIX side. It
is possible that security was not set up correctly.
If there are problems on the server side, you might get the following
messages:
- Resource temporarily unavailable. In this case, inetd will
try initializing the service every three minutes.
- service unavailable. This typically means that the port
assignment is not correct. Use the TSO NETSTAT INTERVAL command to
verify that OMVS issued a LISTEN for port 513. If 513 is not there,
then inetd cannot find the port assignment for 513
in /etc/services or hlq.ETC.SERVICES. You will
need to establish the connection between TCP/IP and z/OS® UNIX by
defining port 513 in /etc/services (if this file is to be used)
or in the hlq.ETC.SERVICES data set, where hlq is the prefix
defined by DATASETPREFIX in the TCP/IP profile ("TCPIP" by default).
If /etc/services is defined, it is used instead of hlq.ETC.SERVICES.
