It seems your home dir is different for some reason. What does your

Same as it ever was...

print in a local mintty session, and what does it print in a remote
session via rlogin? Why on earth are you still using rlogin anyway
instead of ssh?

They print the same thing. mintty doesn't have a smooth scroll option
-- only jump scroll, so I can't see anything that scrolls. It
seems like if I cat 20 pages of text, mintty show me the last page,
but I don't see an option to turn off jump scrolling.
I'm not "still using" rlogin - I just switched to it recently
for being able to open a local console/shell window using a terminal
It's about 3-5 times faster than ssh. For added security (besides
the fact that my login isn't going out on the network for a local
console, my windows machine isn't directly connected to the internet
(behind a proxy) so it makes more sense to not use encryption.
It also allows me to use "SecureCRT" (a remote terminal emulator)
that I use to log into my server (even though I have a dedicated
connection to the server).
It *looks*, at this point that my userid isn't being passed from inetd to
rlogind
so it can read the ".rhosts" file in my WIN-HOME (USERPROFILE or
HOMEDRIVE:\HOMEPATH).
Your userid is bound to you token's SID. For accessing .rhosts the
home dir in your passwd entry must match.

Well, it DOES with the old code... with the test code I don't know.
I DO have a local passwd file and my user entry is the same as the above.
My nsswitch.conf is the default (all commented out).
