Normal user have this problem.  This rlogin works fine with super user.
How do I fix it?
Thanks.

I had a similer problem with rsh that caused the same error.  Incredible
as it may sound, my problem was caused by using the +USER syntax in the
/etc/passwd file.  For example if /etc/passwd contained:

---------------------------------------------------
root:passwd_here:0:1:Operator:/:/bin/csh
field:passwd_here:0:1:Field Service PRIVILEGED Account:/usr/field:/bin/csh
nobody:*:65534:65534::/:
daemon:*:1:1::/:
sys:*:2:2::/:/bin/csh
bin:*:3:3::/bin:
uucp:*:4:8::/var/spool/uucppublic:
audit:*:9:9::/etc/security/audit:/bin/csh
sync::1:1::/:/bin/sync
sysdiag:*:0:1:Old System Diagnostic:/usr/diag/sysdiag:/usr/diag/sysdiag/sysdiag
sundiag:*:0:1:System Diagnostic:/usr/diag/sundiag:/usr/diag/sundiag/sundiag
+user1
+user2
+user3
  .
  .
+userN
+userN+1
+userN+2

---------------------------------------------------

Once N got to about 10 (I never tried to determine the exact number) then
any users listed afterward with the + notation would get your error.  This
was on a system running 4.1.3.
