You might like to check out the documentation, because there is an option
within the "rlogin" system which prevents a remote rhost connection to root
without a password. If you want to enable this, you must pass the "-h" flag
to the rlogind daemon. This tells the system to permit the user of a .rhosts
file for the superuser. A quick look at "man rlogind" will provide you with
all the details.
See ya
