rlogin requires root privileges

Could somebody explain to me why rlogin is suddenly requiring root privileges when run as a non-root user?

tsg_jmz@ohun5303: rlogin jamack
rlogin: This program requires super user privileges

Thanks for your time

Ok, just found that a truck load of binaries (including rlogin) don't have their suid bit set.

Finding out what is my next mission...
