Hi,
Here a bug reported to the Debian BTS by a fellow Hurd developer.

Package: inetutils
Version: 1.3.2-9
rlogin does not work for non-root users.
Normally, rlogin attempts to connect to the server using a
port < IPPORT_RESERVED so that, if configured correctly, the rlogin
server will not prompt for a password. If the rlogin client fails to
bind to a port < IPPORT_RESERVED (as it will for all non-root users), it
will attempt to connect using a port >= IPPORT_RESERVED. inetutils
fails to do this. I have confirmed that inetutils' version of rlogin
shows the same behavior when running under GNU/Linux:
address@hidden:~/inetutils-1.3.2/rlogin (0)$ ./rlogin localhost
rcmd: socket: Permission denied
address@hidden:~/inetutils-1.3.2/rlogin (1)$ sudo ./rlogin \
> localhost
Password:
Last login: Fri Aug 3 ...
[snip]
address@hidden:~$
Using the rlogin supplied with GNU/Linux reveals the expected behavior:
address@hidden:~/inetutils-1.3.2/rlogin (1)$ rlogin localhost
Password:
Last login: Fri Aug 3 ...
[snip]
address@hidden:~$
I have confirmed that this is the latest version of inetutils available
at ftp.gnu.org.
Thanks.
