rsh + rlogin without password (.rhosts) -> NOT WORKING

I'm trying to configure rsh and rlogin to not ask the password for a
user on specific host. However, the normal configuration for that user
account in .rhosts (or even the /etc/hosts.equiv) appears to not be
working! It stills asking the password!!

I'm trying do this in a RedHat Advanced Server 2.1 but with the same
configuration I did it work in RedHat 8.0.

Do I miss something? Any hint about it?

thanks,
Pedro Salazar.
