It is probably best if you run the rlogin daemon from inetd. To do this,
uncomment the rlogin daemon entry in /etc/inetd.conf, save the configuration,
and send the inet daemon a HUP signal. Simple, thats:

prompt> killall -HUP inetd

Please be sure that you protect this daemon from potential abuse by
unscrupulous folks by using a Deny by Default access list with tcp wrappers,
and securing local rhosts files.
