Action

The machine that the user was trying to access with rlogin had the permissions set to 700 on both the root and /usr/bin directories. For both directories, the permissions should be 775. Once the user changed the permissions to 775, rlogin(1) was successful.

Also, check the user's passwd(1) entry in the NIS/NIS+ map. A login shell such as /usr/dist/exe/tcsh or /net/lab/.../csh could cause the failure because of NFS mount permission.
