Unrestricted Login

I was having problems with rlogin on the alpha under
RH 5.0, but then I applied a patch to pam which,
I thought, fixed it. Now any login
(including one from the terminal)
goes like this:

>login: <name>
>password: <return>
>password: <return>

...

$ welcome to <host>
$

Notice that NO password was entered before
the first carriage return and the
password prompt returned once more. Again,
no password was entered before another
carriage return, and then access was
granted!

I hate to go back to the original pam
because of the rlogin problems, but neither
do I want to have a wide-open system!

Help! (down with pam!)
