I have ppp and IP nat/aliasing/masquerading working but I'm puzzled by
a small problem. I have the same user ID on the remote and local
machine. When I connect with "ppp" I can directly do a "rlogin
remotehostname" but when I connect with "ppp -alias" and try to do a
"rlogin" I get a "rlogind: Permission denied.".  I can still do
telnet/ftp/whatever but not "rlogin"!?

Is this the way it is supposed to be? If not, what can I do to find
the problem and solve it?

Unfortunately the other machine in my network is a Macintosh so I
can't try out if other machines on my local network have the same
problem or if it is just the machine that run ppp.

I'm not a system/network administrator (except that I try to administer
my own FreeBSD box) so please explain the steps in detail,
