rsh issue (access denied)...

[bruce]

hi...

i've got an "access denied" issue with rsh on one of my boxes (and before we
start, no use ssh comments.. rsh is what i'm dealing with for now!!)

i've got a few boxes in my network, and i can successfully rsh into them
with no issue. however, on one box, i can't access it using rsh, and i'm
running out of things to try... kind of curious.

i can login using rlogin.

i've modifed the /etc/pam.d/rsh,rlogin files, along with the /etc/securetty
file. as far as i can tell, nothing else has been changed...

the curious thing. as far as i can tell... the files on the system that
doesn't work, are the same as the files on the systems that are allowing rsh
to occur...

the err i'm getting in the /var/log/secure is:
Jun 23 22:16:09 lserver5 userhelper[2186]:
