What is the precise error message you are getting?

What are you typing in to activate the connection?  
root@lois ??

Do the passwords work for an ordinary login (done at the keyboard
of the system running mcserv)?

AFAIK, mcserv uses the same user/passwords.  For example, on the
BL1 system I was using for the test, there was no password for
the root user (you just press ENTER to login).  I connected with
mcserv by entering:  root AT 192.168.1.1 
and when it asked for the password, I pressed ENTER.
Worked fine for me (running mc from BL3).
