First, make sure that the rcmd protocol is running on your machine. do
this by typing 

	netstat -a | grep "*.login"

That should tell you if the rcmd stuff is set up.

Also, take a look in /var/log/messages, it should list an error message.
If the error message doesn't contain the FQDN of the machine you're
rloging in from, then you're not getting proper reverse name lookup.
