- Here is the generic trick to debugging "R" service authentication
- problems:
-
- * Always be reply/enable'd in another window on the VMS machine
- through these tests. The following tricks are based on no
- messages appearing via OPCOM. If any errors appear via OPCOM,
- then they explain the problem.
- * Always debug the problem with RLOGIN, not RSHELL.
- * Always flush the cache with $ MULTINET NETCONTROL RLOGIN FLUSH
- after changing any configuration files.
-
- First, rlogin from the UNIX machine to the VMS machine and supply
- a password if the validation files. Do a SHOW TERMINAL to see what
- machine name you've come from, and put this name in the .RHOSTS file.
- If the machine name is shown in SHOW TERMINAL as an IP address, then
- you have a DNS or host table problem and need to fix this an restart
- the MULTINET_SERVER before proceeding.

- Sounds like you've tried everything. Is the account enabled for
- all types of access? Are you sure your UNIX username was "johnson"
- at the time? Can you duplicate the behavior of the password working
- only when you specify "-l johnson"?
