RLogin problem

I need to establish rlogin between 2 of my servers (and I know, it's not secure, smart, etc. ... it's a temporary requirement that I have to do)

I tried all the standards.

I'm trying to rlogin from server A to server B

On server B, I made a /.rhosts file that contains server A's name
On server B, I made a /etc/hosts.equiv file that contains server A's name and root
I can ping A from B, and ping B from A.

But if I try to rlogin, I'm getting:

# rlogin serverB
serverB: Connection refused

What am I missing?

Thanks!

looks like the rlogin daemon is disabled.

Disabled on the source or remote host?

How do you start the deamon? (I was under the impression that it is always running).

Figured it out, I had to enable telnet and restart the inet process. It works now.

my os is SCO 5.0.6
see man .k5login
and both server user name and passwd set same for connection/rlogin
related files .rhosts , .k5login, /etc/hosts , /etc/hosts.equiv
