 From what you've provided above, it seems you're discussing the 
configuration of your remote (Linux) server and not Cygwin.
Configuration help on 'rshd' and 'rlogind' is best derived from the 
man pages for these two daemons.  Help for Linux is off-topic for this
list.  But if your concern is the server configuration, you may want to 
try 'rsh'ing and 'rlogin'ing to the Linux machine from the Linux machine.
This will help you validate the server configuration.  If this works but
the like invocation from Cygwin doesn't (especially if the Windows-native
client does work too), then that is on-topic for this list.  Please review 
the problem reporting guidelines at the link below for information on what 
your problem report should contain.
