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.
