I need to establish rlogin between 2 of my servers (and I know, it's not secure, smart, etc. ... it's a temporary requirement that I have to do)

I tried all the standards.

I'm trying to rlogin from server A to server B

On server B, I made a /.rhosts file that contains server A's name
On server B, I made a /etc/hosts.equiv file that contains server A's name and root
I can ping A from B, and ping B from A.

But if I try to rlogin, I'm getting:

# rlogin serverB
serverB: Connection refused

What am I missing?

Thanks!
