I am using Nipper for verifying my Cisco configuration.=A0 Nipper is findin=
g the "rlogin" service that is not in the configuration.=A0 I have searched=
 the access lists and do not see it anywhere.=A0 The explanation by Nipper =
about this finding, "....Telnet protocol implemented by this service...." i=
s confusing.=A0 Here is the Nipper's output:

______________________________
Rlogin Service Settings

The Rlogin service enables remote administrative access to a CLI on Cisco R=
outer Devices.=A0 The Telnet protocol implemented by th service is simple a=
nd provides no encryption of the network communications between client and =
the server.=A0 This section details the Rlogin settings.

Description=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0Setting
Rlogin Service=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0Enabled
Service TCP Port=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0513
______________________________

I have checked a few other routers where SSH was not enabled with the same =
results.

Can someone explain why Nipper is saying "Rlogin is enabled" when I do not =
see it in the configuration file?=A0 Is there something else that I need to=
 be looking at?

Thank you in advance for any help.
