[Bigsister-general] Monitoring rsh availability on a Solaris machine

["Douglas Valkenaar" <suppressed>]

I'd like to monitor the availability of the 'rsh' server on a Solaris
machine using Big Sister.  Unfortunately the method I chose doesn't
work on Solaris:
   item=rsh service=rsh port=514 timeout=5 tcp

On Solaris, the daemon checks the port of the client computer.  If
it's not in the 'rsh' range (0-1023) it closes the connection.  This
causes Big Sister to report the connection down.

Does anyone have another method of checking that 'rshd' is up on a
machine?  BTW - I can't just check the process because 'in.rshd' is
only started when there's an incoming connection.

Thx.
