Hi guys
Just to give you a bit of a idea about my setup
Ive got a Windows XP machine ( Shinobi) and I'm trying to get it to talk to my Linux Machine ( Dragon). I am using Putty to connect from my Windows Machine to the Ubuntu box. I can connect using SSH this works perfectly fine. Ok so your now thinking whynot just use SSH and get the job done, I am pretty new to Linux, although I can navigate and work around the CLI i'm hardly a expert on it. So I would like Rlogin setup so I can see that GUI goodness.
So I fire up Putty in Windows, I have assigned my Ubuntu box Stactic I.P and unique hostname so all is well, SSH works fine. But when I try and connect through Rlogin a black screen appear's briefly then it just closes providing me with no error message, Hmmm the ports not being opened I thought so I went straight into the port forwarding on the router and opened port 513. Logging in through Putty produced a similar result.
I then went to to ubuntu and under the Rlogin options set the option to allow remote connections. Still no results.
Any diagnostic commands I can run to aid the troubleshooting process of this?
I'm thinking about throwing Rlogin out the window and just using SSH.
Many Thanks
