Rlogin suddenly requires password

I've got a Vax running MtXinu 4.3BSD/NFS. I usually access it by
rlogin from a Sun. I have accounts on both machines, with the name login
name and the same uid. It never used to ask me for a password when I
rlogin'ed before, but started doing so the other day. The host I'm logging
in from is in the Vax's /etc/hosts and /etc/hosts.equiv. Anybody have any
idea what might be wrong?
The only thing I can think of that changed recently is that I
installed a new copy of the NIC's hosts file, but I made sure that my local
entries got prepended to the front of it.
