Action

1. Check the permissions on in.rlogind on the machine you are trying to connect to. The permissions should look like this:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root     staff       16384 Jan 20  1994 /usr/etc/in.rlogind

2. Check the login line in the /etc/inetd.conf file. It should look like the following:

login	stream	tcp	nowait	root	/usr/etc/in.rlogind	in.rlogind

3. Check /etc/passwd to see if an invalid login shell has been substituted in the entry for the login id.
