First, make sure it's in /etc/hosts.equiv. 

Then, make sure that the name of the machine is correct in .rhosts and
hosts.equiv and hosts.

To do that, once you get logged in, do a who and the name in the ()'s is
the name of the machine that needs to go in the files. This name may be
truncated. If it is, fill out the entire domain.
