We still have a few machines running RTU 5.0 and are sucessfully 
using host name only entries in /etc/net/hosts.equiv.  In my
recollection, we quit using "*" when we made our Internet connection
which was about the time of RTU 3.1 or so.

We have not yet felt the need to use both hostnames and usernames,
but I suspect that we will get there eventually....
