Probably rlogin behaves differently depending on its
name. You may find that it is hard-linked to rcp or rsh or remsh. Check.

It would help people help you more easily if you can post a bit of
session log. Show the commands you're typing, the results, and do
a few other useful commands like 'which rloginold' and
'ls -l /usr/bin/rlogin*'.
