	I am trying to set up some type of security (ha,ha) on a fairly
	large network of Sun 3 machines.  What I thought I would do is,
	
	1) specify allusers the file /etc/netgroup on our YP master machine

			allusers (-,,domainname)

	2) specify trusted users in the same file

			trusted (machine,user,domainname)

	3) make entries in the file /etc/hosts.equiv something like

			+@trusted
			-@allusers
	
	I expected that users specified in "trusted" would be able to do an rsh
	to the machine with the hosts.equiv file and not be asked a password.
	That worked, the problem is that all users on "machine" specified in
	"trusted" could do an rsh without being asked for a password?????


	What did I do wrong?


	Thanks in advance.
