Edit the /etc/inetd.conf file (disable the entry for rlogin) on your live system. If you want to disable more nework services make a backup copy of the original file before editing it.
But be aware that you have to give the possibility to login with other tools like ssh otherwise you could end up with a system you can't login to any more.
Then save the new /etc/inetd.conf file and force the inetd to re-read the config file:
# ps -ef | grep inetd
Then you get the pid of inetd (let's say it is 185)
# kill -HUP 185
