 Hi.
 
 I've here something quite strange (calum is a machine on the net):

 this is on a machine that is on the local net behind IP_MASQURADE (but 
the machine itself is not the host that does the IP_MASQURADing)

 su - regular_user

1019 $ telnet calum
calum: Unknown server error

1020 $ rlogin calum
rlogind: Permission denied.

 su - root

1058 # telnet calum
Trying 129.97.134.11...
Connected to calum.csclub.uwaterloo.ca.
Escape character is '^]'.

1059 # rlogin calum
rlogind: Permission denied.

echo "129.97.134.11   calum.uwaterloo.ca calum" >>/etc/hosts

 su - regular_user

1023 $ telnet calum
Trying 129.97.134.11...
Connected to calum.uwaterloo.ca.
Escape character is '^]'.

1024 $ rlogin calum
rlogind: Permission denied.

 su - root

1060 # telnet calum
Trying 129.97.134.11...
Connected to calum.uwaterloo.ca.
Escape character is '^]'.

1061 # rlogin calum
rlogind: Permission denied.

 as any user I can do both telnet and rlogin to any machine on the local net
(I have a local ethernet and PPP to the Net using IP_MASQUERADE). 

once I add the IP of the Net host (calum) into /etc/hosts, I can telnet 
to it as any kind of user, but I still can't rlogin to it, not even as root.


   Help !

      Thanx,
          Jan
