>Description:
The man page for rshd(8) does not describe the '-a' option.
The '-l' option is buried in the list items (8.).
The '-n' option is also inconsistent with standard documentation.

In addition, the source shows other options not documented;
namely, 'k','x' and 'v'.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
I offer the following text fixes.

-a	DEPRICATED. This flag is ignored. It is offerd only for 
	compatability reasons.

-l	Do not validate user with ~/.rhosts unless it is the superuser.

-n	Turns off transport-level keepalive messages. Such messages
	are used to detect client crashes or unreachable clients.

-k	Use kerberos(8) Authentication (if compiled into client and
	server).

-v	UNIMPLEMENTED. Vacuous authentication. Apparently this was
	intended for encryption of data stream without the need
	for kerberos(8).

-x	Encrypt the data stream. Requires kerberos(8).

-D	Sets TCP_NODELAY socket option with improves performance of
	small back-to-back writes at the expense of additional
	network traffic.

-L	Cause all successful accesses to be logged to syslogd(8)
	as auth.info messages.


-?	Ignores all other options and immediately quits with usage message.
