In inetd.conf, which service/port are you using?  Are you using the
"klogin" service/port (543/tcp), or the "eklogin" service/port
(2105/tcp)?

I think "rlogin -x" expects to connect to the eklogin port, not the
klogin port.  So, even if you have the klogind set to use encryption, if
it's running on the klogin port instead of the eklogin port, it might
not work.  But I could be wrong :-}
