Check your /etc/passwd file and make sure there is no entry in the
password field (the second field). You want something like this:
someuser::11150:...
and not something like this:
someuser:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:11150:...
An easy way to check if this is the culprit is to try doing an
rlogin. For me, this will ask me for a password and then succeed if
I have an entry in the password field. If the password field is
empty, it succeeds without asking for a password.
