When you login directly through the console, the username/password validation
is handled by the registry; when you rlogin, the /etc/passwd file is consulted.
These two databases are not automatically kept in sync with each other.  I
have seen the problem that you described and it was corrected by running
/etc/crpasswd.  After running crpasswd, you may want to check passwd to make
certain that the home directory and startup shell fields are correct.
