rlogin normaly is configguerd in /etc/inedt.conf

cat /etc/inetd.conf |grep ^login
login stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/rlogind rlogind

after switching it on do not forget to run a inedt -c
if that is done you can use rlogin to login, if you need to do it whitout a passwd the .rhosts needs to be configgered

create a file named "/.rhosts" in the root directory and permissions 666

[TTr]

1. On the target host enable the rlogin service in /etc/inetd.conf. Restart inetd if needed.

2. On the target host check /var/adm/inetd.sec to see if there are any deny or allow entries for the login service. Adjust if necessary

3. On the source server use the rlogin command to connect to the target

4. On the target server, if you want to rlogin without having to type the password, add the source hostname (or IP) in the .rhosts file of the account that you 'd be doing rlogin to. The .rhosts file must be owned by the account where it resides and must NOT have 666 permission mode. (600 or 400 is sufficient). If the .rhosts has 666 permision mode or it is not owned by the account where it resides IT IS IGNORED by rlogind.
