Keywords: hosts.equiv rlogin
Summary: tell me about hosts.equiv

Why does hosts.equiv exist? And what is its purpose? I have read all (read
sparse) available documentation on hosts.equiv and related files and commands.
I believe its purpose is closely tied to the execution of 'rlogin', although,
I have not been able to deduce its exact use. Any information would be
appreciated. My environment is Unix System V.0.
