  Rhosts, rlogin and the like aren`t exactly secure, so most boxen
aren`t setup to use that system.

 I`m running RH6.0 and 6.2 and neither of those systems are setup for r*
stuff, and that`s the way it`s staying.

 Had some freak from Korea throwing strange packets at my machine last
week. Quite happy I don`t have that many holes in the system. 

 As Matt JP said, use ssh.
