Once upon a time Richard Huveneers shaped the electrons to say...

No, if you are using rlogin, it will use the rlogin socket NOT 1642. That
is only used for in.pmd - and you would have that running on 1642 if the
users were going to connect to it.

Also, they'd have to reverse engineer the packets (not hard, admittedly)
and then what do they get? not user names and passwords. Just what a
user would be typing at shell.
