When you use rlogin, it does not broadcast the machine name - the 
remote system gets the IP address from the connection request and
looks up the name by address. So, it would seem that the problem you
are having has to do with the remote machine still having the old
name recorded somewhere - either in its hosts table or in a nameserver.
