I trimmed both of the traces in gvim to the point when they
both first call "-bash".

I *was* able  to login *with* my password under the test release.
It placed me in the same home directory -- so I ran getent there
as well:
Bliss\law:unused:5013:201:L A Walsh, Trust Technologies, 
tlinx.org,U-Bliss\law,S-1-5-21-33333-77777-33333-5013:/Users/law.Bliss:/bin/bash

I think that is the same output as before.

Usually from WIN-R (run) since I don't have a local window open yet
until I run inetd -- but that's still a local session, so should
be the same, just not the same as a startup from bash or a command line.

No options are passed in.  The only file I think I needed to change
was '/etc/inetd.conf' (also attached).

Other than that the binaries need to be installed (doy!)...
Both traces are attached in xz format.

	Just the /etc/inetd.conf.. my 'terminal client'
then uses the rlogin protocol and feeds it my systemname
(localhost didn't work, but the shortname 'athenae' does)
and my Userid 'Bliss\law'.

If you want to try the same terminal client,
you can download it for a 30-day trial
from http://www.vandyke.com/products/securecrt/index.html

I am not running under the latest release as my
'free updates' expired (I'm running 7.1.1 x64 version,
current is 7.3).  Note: when you purchase, you get
free updates for some period after that, but the
client itself doesn't expire...so it's been a pretty
good value (you can set it for normal scrolling or
jump scrolling.. among many other configurables).

Hope this was everything ... ?
