Thanks a lot Kevin.

Somehow the /etc/pam.conf file got changed. Everything works now!

Please, don't top-post. It confuses threads and makes reading very difficult.

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

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...

I'm glad it helped...
