This works for me.
In your .logout have (with csh)

if(`tty` !~ /dev/tty[pqr]* ) then
#not a pseudo tty, so presumably not an rlogin or telnet etc.
	commands...
endif

Roll your own if you use a different shell.

Alternatively, you could awk your way through the output of ps to find out
if the parent of the current process is in.rlogind.
But this approach varies from one unix to another.
