I accidently connected to my server using rlogin instead of SSH. The connection worked. "rlogin username:" was displayed directly followed by "Network error: Connection refused".

I am wondering if the application runs or not. Because if it didn't, I think it would not display "rlogin username:" before refusing the connection. However, I cannot find any hint about a running rlogin process. lsof -i :513 is empty (port 513 is where I accidently connected to) and /etc/xinetd.d does not exist.

Is the application running or not? If not, why is "rlogin username:" displayed when I connect to port 513?

Network error: Connection refused is how your system tells you that there is no server (of any type) listening to that port on that server.
