/etc/passwd and /etc/group are symlinks to a shared and up to date

understand it, for sshd (or in.rlogind) to "switch user" it needs
special privileges. Indeed the documentation alludes to that. And
until I added those permissions to the sshd_server user ssh/rsh
would not work at all. (rsh, started from inetd that is as inetd was
also logging on as the sshd_server user). Still, while rsh works,
ssh refuses to work citing the error message above in
/var/log/sshd.log. IOW I can rsh <server> and get in. I can also rsh
<server> <command> and have <command> run on <server> (provided
/etc/passwd on <server> has a blank password for the user). However
I cannot ssh <server>. When I do so it prompts for the password then
abruptly logs out with the only clue left in
<server>:/var/log/sshd.log.
A little more info. rsh <server> works. rsh <server> <command> hangs!

This is very frustrating because my client relies on a command I
wrote called "smake" which essentially boils down to: "rsh <server>
-n cd <directory> && make" that is intended to perform the make on
<server>. As you can see it relies on rsh, passwordless login to
<server> executing a command. But with this new 2003 server rsh
<server> <command> hangs!
Help!
Are you sure you're not getting caught by the Windows rsh?
Positive:

I have seen in.rshd.exe.stackdump's but I forget where... Could this
likewise be caused by that failure to load ws2_32.dll?
