Ok.  That makes sense as I *cannot* get rsh/rlogin to work at all no matter
what I have tried in pam.conf.
By putting in entries like those for login, rsh will prompt for password
(but the leading p missing) and it echoes the typed in password
and does not go any further.

99.99% of time I use ssh/scp so it no real problem but on occasion
dont want the overhead of encryption (say while behind firewall and large
rdist/rsync).

I am concerned that *maybe* the r-utils *are* broken in 4.2-beta
and it is not misconfiguration on my part.
I would have thought if they were broken that someone would have
said something before now - but then again most people probably use ssh/scp.
(and the supplied inetd.conf has r-utils off by default)

There was one email on stable from 3 Nov that indicated problem with rsh
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=1205877+1207103+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-stable/20001105.freebsd-stable

Can anyone confirm that rshd/rlogind works on a 4.2beta machine?

thanks
