1. using xdm, rlogin to SUN doesn't work

I am running slackware 1.2.0 in a heterogenous network. Using rlogin
I can reach any kind of machine, as long as it has a TCP/IP connection.
When I changed the default runlevel in /etc/inittab from 5 to 6, the Linux
PC starts up the display manager and the authorization is changed, now
using the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1. From then on, every rlogin to a SUN ends
with the message 'rlogin: connection closed'.

The rlogin still works with SCO-PC's, Ultrix, VAX having UCX installed,
even the IBM mainframe is still reachable.

I changed in /var/X11/lib/X11/xdm/xdm-config the authorization

            DisplayManager._0.authorize  false

This implies, that the X-server starts with the default host-based
authorization. But the result was still the same.

Starting from one of the console screens is the only way to do a remote
login to a SUN, because these screens are not affected by this curious
behaviour of the display manager.

Opening a remote session on an Ultrix using rlogin and trying from there
another rlogin to a Sun, doesn't work either! Only when starting a telnet
session on the Ultrix the following rlogin to the Sun works.

If anyone knows what's wrong let me know.
