Is there any reason when using rlogin or remsh into a server running

different about rlogin and ssh password authenication? How can I track
down what the problem could be?

Sounds like a mis-configured PAM module for the r-commands. Have you done
anything to /etc/pam.conf?

If you think it is (or should be) unmodified, try updating pam.conf from
/usr/newconfig/etc/pam.conf.

Also, if it is only for certain users, it may be /etc/pam_user.conf...
