This question is almost impossible to answer.  rlogind is not 
required to export these variables, but some versions do set 
$REMOTEHOST.  If you use tcsh tcsh sets $REMOTEHOST.  Some 
internetservers can set environment variables (eg. xinetd or 
tcpserver), but others doesn't.  Last but not least it could 
be in any of your profiles.

The easiest way is to avoid those variables completely.

Sorry, no idea, I am still using SuSE 6.1.
