Another solution to the .rhosts problem, which I implemented
when I was at Lawrence Livermore back in '86 was to require a
recent login on the account that you wish to use rlogin/rsh/rcp
to before the .rhosts file can be valid.  This helps to solve the
problem of people leaving .rhosts files lying around and then
forgetting them when a "friendly" site turns hostile.
