Solving problems with rlogin setup

z/OS UNIX System Services Planning
GA32-0884-00

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.
