telnet works, but my telnet demon does not support auto login, so I get the
login prompt, that shouldn't appear.

I have tried to first login in a normal account via mgetty and than execute
the rlogin. Now I can see rlogin terminates with a Segmentation fault.
If I login to the same account via a telnet session (or on the console) and
excutes rlogin it works!
If have compared the environement settings, but found no differences. What
else can be different between telnet and mgetty login?

BTW. I have tried this with megtty 1.0.0 and an old version of mgetty 0.99
(oct 95). I am running a linux 2.0.27
