[gentoo-cluster] rsh failed : Connection reset by peer

[Chuanwen Wu]

Hi,
I want to use iozone to test my cluster, and I found that iozone need
rsh. But rsh never worked in my machine.

I have followed this guide
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/hpc-howto.xml#doc_chap2, which including
the configuration of rsh.

       disable         = no
}

I have a node07 whose is is 192.168.1.7 and a master, whose ip is 192.168.1.1.
I tried to rlogin to master from node73 with any user (i mean both
root and other users), I got the error in node07:
node07 # rlogin -l root master
rcmd: master: Connection reset by peer

and I read the log from /var/log/rlogin in master:
# cat /var/log/rsh
[...]
09/1/5@23:10:36: FAIL: login address
09/1/5@23:10:36: START: login pid=8961 from=192.168.1.7
09/1/5@23:10:36: EXIT: login status=0 pid=8961 duration=0(sec)

And the master can't rlogin to itself, too: with root, because t:
master # rlogin -l root localhost
Password:
Password:
Login incorrect                   /*rlogin with root,  the password is
incorrect forever and Of course, I am sure the password is correct */

master # rlogin -l wcw localhost
Password:

rlogin: connection closed.  /*rlogin with other user(wcw), it will
succeed, but the connection will closed immediately  */

# cat /etc/hosts.allow

node07

Anybody can help?
Thanks in advanced!
