Please, look at the FAQ for completely determined observations for -logit-
(it also applies to completely determined panels for -xtlogit-):

	http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/stat/logitcd.html

Regarding rho and sigma:

	- rho is obtained as: rho = (sigma_u)^2 / ((sigma_u)^2 + (sigma_e)^2)

	  Where sigma_u and sigma_e correspond to the unobserved individual
	  specific component  and the idiosyncratic component of the error term:

		error = u_i + e_i_t

	 (See page 135 of the cross-sectional time-series manual for details)

	- sigma_u, is the standard deviation of the random effect term, which
	  measures the degree of heterogeneity in u_i

Sincerely,

Gustavo
