There are two different versions of rrlogind (I think).  Which version you
use depends on how the cable company has their system setup.  If I sound
vague, it's because I'm not sure exactly how it works.  What I do know is
that you need the version of rrloingd that can be found at:

If I look in /etc/rc.d/init.d/rrlogin it tells me that the logon server is
called "logon-server", if that helps.

There are directions for getting things setup in redhat 6.0, but reading
through some of the stuff, some people have had problems with the newer
kernel or the dhcp client.  I am using the older kernel (2.0.36) and
everything works okay.  I can access account management from win98 and
linux.
