I have a problem with rlogin when using resolv.conf to point to a primary 
server.

If I don't use any named stuff (ie use /etc/hosts file )
I can rlogin to and from  my MIPS machine running os4.51 as
myself (I have account on them) without getting ask for a password.

Now If I set up resolv.conf to point to my primary server, without named
running, ie. as a client server that makes rlogin asking me for a 
password before I can login.

Question :
does rlogin skip /etc/host.equiv and .rhosts file when the resolv.conf
is setup?  Is there something I need to setup as the primary server to
make rlogin work without asking for a passwd?

I am currenty running MIPS os4.51 and my primary server is running Ultrix 4.0

Thanks in advance.
Danny
