When me or any other user tries to use rlogin to get to another box, it just hangs there. What need to be set?
 
Yes, I /they can telnet, however one of the programmers wants to use a script and he doesn't think telnet will work in the script, so he wants to use rlogin instead.

Make sure that the r* services are enabled in /etc/inetd.conf. Also you have to configure some associated files. If you have to uncomment, don't forget to SIGHUP inetd.

kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`

Files:
/etc/hosts.equiv or
/home/.rhosts or

You have to indicate who you want to allow on your system:
ex) + + will allow anyone from anywhere(very dangerous) or
user other_machine

Hope this helps,
Tony
