	Check out "man 8 rlogind". It talks about ports:
1.   The server checks the client's source port.  If the port is not in
     the range 512-1023, the server aborts the connection.
	Also make sure the remote hosts allows rlogin connections:
grep rlogin /etc/inetd.conf
	Just what error message do you get? Anything in the logs?
