Please check with SystemAdmin guys for passwordless ssh authentication and make sure from the system you are trying to install can do a rsh / ssh without password.

You may take a look at following command to configure the same:
# man rhosts

Hello Chris,

Sounds a bit strange, If you are able to do passwordless ssh/rsh, SFRAC also should be able to do... I have not heard of any known issue around this.. Checked for release notes for later mainetance packs of 4.1, I didn't found anything there relating to this...

Best would be to get rsh working as it would be simple... so lets concentrate on rsh....

a) I hope you have already added a "+" in the .rhosts file....
b) Once installer is failing, does it reports anything in the logs ?
c) Tried restarting the services ? inetd will host rsh i guess...
d) do you have any firewall in between ?

Chirs,

The areas that we can look into is /etc/hosts file. Does it has the mapping of the IP address and hostname that you are providing while installing the product? Are you able to do a passwordless ssh both way? If it is configured one way then from which node you are trying to push the installation? While performing manual password less ssh are you using hostname or just the IP address? If you are trying with IP address then try otherwise.

Also check what has been suggested by Gaurav.

We have not heard of any such Bug with that release.

Regards,
Dev Roy.
