Make sure the permissions on the '.rhosts' file is only 600, and if you are are trying to do this as root, ensure that you have added 'rsh' to '/etc/securetty'.

Hi,
Thanks for the help, i could find the problem was with the entries in /etc/pam.d/rlogin file. The problem resolved after putting the entry

auth sufficient pam_rhosts_auth.so
