Just some random toughts:

- Man rshd shows the meaning of the second error message you received,
"Permission denied.
       The authentication procedure described above failed."
so better test with the same user name that worked with rlogin.

- Windows 2003 server may have its own rshd service running; that could exp=
lain
why rlogin works (it's Cygwin's rlogin service) and rsh does not (it's Wind=
ows
shell service).  The shell service may even be disabled by default in
/etc/inetd.conf (I don't know, I usually disable a lot of things there).

- Domain users may have their HOME directory on remote machines, mounted
directories, and that may be a problem which explains the access denied mes=
sage.
