>Description:

Unless the file /etc/netgroup exists, rlogind dumps core
if /etc/hosts.equiv contains a "+@netgroup".  (I didn't
check whether an empty /etc/netgroup file suffices to prevent
the core dump.  If the file exists and contains "+", everything
works as expected.)

	

>How-To-Repeat:

Delete the /etc/netgroup file from your machine and attempt to rlogin
to it from another machine.

	

>Fix:

Install an /etc/netgroup file containing "+".
