: How does one specify the host and remote user name in the .rhosts
: file?

In your .rhosts file
hostone.domain1.org username1
hosttwo.otherplace  username2

etc...

You also need to tell rsh/rlogin what username you are loging in as.

ie. on your winNT machine you would need to so something like
 
% rsh -l username1 host.im.trying.to.log.into
