When we use rlogin and all other "r" programs the existence of the
/etc/hosts.equiv and the .rhosts file seems to be ignored. rlogin
requires a password and the oters do nothing at all. In the
remote host.equiv file we put the name of the local machine. We also did
that with the remote .rhosts file which is in the home directory of the
user who wants to rlogin with the permission 600.

Who can give me a solution for this problem!!!

I guess that you did not use the full domain name. Anyways, I don't
use rlogin anymore, i use ssh. See http://www.cs.hut.fi/ssh/
