Great, "ping" us when done 8-)

It was the rlogind, actually any r* server seems they pretty
much the same code.  Joachim was debugging it but I could
not be of any help(No Solaris machine).  IIRC the problem
was doing login.

- Maybe /bin/login was expecting some UTMPX entry.
- The STREAM handling that I have put in is the culprit
  see libinetutils/{fork,open}pty.c

When you contacted rlogind, the server just went away
or /bin/login refuse to log you.  strace will show the
output or I think truss(?) on solaris.

In any case I'm still trying to get my hand on a Solaris box.
