I have recently upgraded from 7.0 to 7.1. I am unable to rlogin into the upgraded machine. I was able to before. I did not install the firewall. The system is completely secure from the outside world. Rlogin works for regular users but not root. The /ETC/HOSTS files are correct and the /ETC/XINETD.D/RLOGIN file has been edited to enable rlogin capabilities (disable = no). The /ETC/HOST.CONF is "Order hosts, nis, bind" and the root .RHOSTS file has been edited. HELP!!!!!!!

Hi,
This is because of linux pam (pluggable authentication modules) security. Its deliberately configured to prevent use by root due to the relatively weak security of the 'r' series of commands. To 'fix' it so it works see --> .
