CentOS - Aug 2010 - rexec error - where are you

Hi all,

I've a particular host on my network that when I run;

rexec -l username -p password remotehost command

it just hangs.

When I do;

rexec -a -l username -p password remotehost command

i get; Where are you?

If I do;

rexec -l username -p password localhostname (not just localhost but  
its actual name) command

it works.

Any ideas would be very appreciated.

You do know you can achieve that with ssh as well, don't you?
Other than that I don't know what to advise; never used rsh.

If you can configure your application to not use '-p', you can probably 
remove rexec, symlink that path to ssh, and use ssh instead.

Check whether your localhost are in /etc/hosts on the server (or
whatever equivalent could be) or your machine has a valid DNS entry.

Did it worked before?
