rlogin
i need to turn on rlogin, it went away and the linux server will not accept any connection. I recently upgraded to rh7.1 and that is when my rlogin went south. I managed to get telnet up and running, but most of the people on the network like to use rlogin, how do i turn it back on?

it would be helpful if you post the error msgs which appear in /var/log/messages as soon as you try to login via rlogin. (also which linux distribution have you installed on the second machine)

error message:
in.rlogind[7160]: PAM authentication failed for in.rlogind
now on my other box, I installed xinet, but I still don't see rlogin at the ntsysv menu.

you can turn it on using either linuxconf or ntsyv.
Using ntsysv or the services menu of linuxconf, simply choose the rlogin and xinetd. You can either restart the machine or manually run the following command:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart
