I am on NT4SP6, with
inetutils 1.3.2-14
login 1.4-2
cygwin 1.3.2-1
rlogin, telnet, and ssh work- for the most part.
I had to do plenty of fiddling with ssh_config
and sshd_config, and it doesn't do RSA or DSA.
rsh doesn't work, but that's okay, because my
not-so-secure ssh basically works like rsh.
So, all my ramblings aside, it seems that your
rlogin problem is confined to w2k and w95.
I found the inetutils and ssh readme files to be
invaluable in setting up rsh, rlogin, telnet, ssh.
I think the faq and the user guide also had some
useful stuff on these utilities... like the mkpasswd
section in the user guide.
And using google helped too- search for
rlogin site:cygwin.com
etc.

I have had similar problems to this with rlogin, I went back to cygwin-1.3.1
with everything else current and rlogin started working again.
This was on a 95 box.
Good Luck

I concur. Last week I upgraded everything and then the rlogin daemon
stopped working. (Side note: It still doesn't work; I posted info on
this list but have only gotten one response stating they have the
problem too, so it's not just my computer being weird). Unfortunately,
last week I didn't know that the old versions of packages are still
saved in my system. If I'd known this then, I would've reported exactly
which modules got upgraded to cause my problems.
Hmm, it'd probably be a good idea to do this now: upon doing some
research, I found that my login package was upgraded from 1.4-1 to
1.4-2. My inetutils was upgraded from 1.3.2-11 to 1.3.2-14. My Cygwin
itself was upgraded from an old 1.1.8-2 to a whopping 1.3.2-1.
The symptom I'm seeing is that the rlogin actually succeeds and then
login yells because I don't seem to have permission to execute
/bin/bash. But I do since it's world-readable. And I can telnet into
the machine and all is well with the world. And I can open up bash
windows on the console. The other really weird symptom is that when I
rlogin as a different valid username/password, it rejects the login
attempt completely. So I can try rlogging in as myself and getting
permission denied from login.exe, or I get a total authentication
failure when trying to rlog in as someone else.
This is W2k and someone on this list already mentioned that they've seen
the same problem on W2k, although it used to work for them on NT. If I
can get my hands on an NT box (and some time to play with this), I'll
try setting it up there and testing it out.
Any advice would be appreciated.

P.S. I have a sneaking suspicion ntsec is responsible for this. What do
I lose if I turn ntsec off? I think I tried it already, and it didn't
help, but I tried so many combinations of things that I really don't
remember at this point.
