I am on NT4SP6, with
inetutils 1.3.2-14
login 1.4-2
cygwin 1.3.2-1
rlogin, telnet, and ssh work- for the most part.
I had to do plenty of fiddling with ssh_config
and sshd_config, and it doesn't do RSA or DSA.
rsh doesn't work, but that's okay, because my
not-so-secure ssh basically works like rsh.
So, all my ramblings aside, it seems that your
rlogin problem is confined to w2k and w95.
I found the inetutils and ssh readme files to be
invaluable in setting up rsh, rlogin, telnet, ssh.
I think the faq and the user guide also had some
useful stuff on these utilities... like the mkpasswd
section in the user guide.
And using google helped too- search for
rlogin site:cygwin.com
etc.

I have had similar problems to this with rlogin, I went back to cygwin-1.3.1
with everything else current and rlogin started working again.
This was on a 95 box.
Good Luck
