Description
Spotlight on Unix
When Client connecting to AIX 4.3.3 boxes getting error on Spotlight window:
" The user name and/or password supplied was not accepted by server " 10.1.10.1"
Can not open connection " Host_name" -
Resolution
On some AIX 4.3.X installs is missing the -c option for exec in /etc/inetd.conf file.
Example:
exec stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/rexecd rexecd
To fix this problem:
Login as root user, then modify /etc/ined.conf make it looks like:
exec stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/sbin/rexecd rexecd -c
Then refresh the inetd processes.
