this one seems much odder, and more elusive:
1:15 smoke-screen(140):~% rlogin -a -x nowhere -l root
[doesn't work]
1:16 smoke-screen(141):~% rlogin -a -x nowhere -l root
[works]
1:21 smoke-screen(144):~% rlogin -a -x -l root nowhere
[works]
1:22 smoke-screen(145):~% rlogin -a -x nowhere -l root
[doesn't work]
1:23 smoke-screen(146):~% rlogin -a -x nowhere -l root
[doesn't work]
1:23 smoke-screen(147):~% rlogin -a -x nowhere -l root
[works]
it always works from my linux box at home.
