OT: rlogin to (rt)Linux as root

["Dresner, Norman A." <norman_a_dresner@md.northgrum.com>]

This is off-topic but I'm sure that several of you have already faced this
problem ahead of me.  I was trying to do an rlogin from an SGI (IRIX) box to
my rtlinux computer and nothing I can do seems to make any difference.  I've
gotten the /etc/hosts.equiv and the various .rhosts files correct and I've
entered the name of the port from which the rlogin proceeds into
/etc/securetty too.  Every time I try to rlogin as root, I'm prompted for a
password but it's never accepted.  I can successfully rlogin as a normal
user.

While I can rlogin as a user and su once there, that doesn't solve the
related rcp-problem which is also being refused (for the same reason, I
assume).  I'm open to suggestions.  

Thanks
