I'll bite.

rlogin is an interactive connection based on pseudo-terminals
(much like telnet)

rsh allows you to run a command on another host, but stdin, stdout,
and stderr are re-directed back to you.

If you start a rsh to a machine without a command to be run, most
implementations will exec rlogin for you.
