If I'm understanding the question correctly, and from my experiences
with ssh on AIX to date, ssh access and inetd services access (such as
login, rlogin, rsh, etc...) are 2 different things. ssh access is
controlled by /path/to/sshd_config (ssh server config) and
/path/to/ssh_config (client access config). So, "rlogin=false" should
not have anything to do with sftp, scp, ssh operations.

To see what "inetd" services are active (and this is specific to AIX,
not ssh) run lssrc -ls inetd (or see what is uncommented in
/etc/inetd.conf). To see whether a user can login (console), rlogin
(remote access via telnet), lsuser -a login rlogin username

Hope that helps...

Pete
p.s. Don't forget to "refresh -s inetd" if any services are changed or
stopsrc -s sshd && startsrc -s sshd to refresh sshd if any of its
configuration has been changed...P
