I think this is my problem... It sure sounds like it
Arguably it's not a good idea to create a user that has the create process
level token privilige, as which the inetd service will run, so that it can
setuid /AND/ access shares...
I think i'll just keep local copies of .rhosts as part of the installation
procedure... *sigh*

/var/log/inetd.log contains spawn info for the rlogind process, but not much
more... As for the event log, it contains somewhat sparse info.
Maybe this is a configuration problem? Should all syslogish output really be
directed to the event log? (not that rlogin is very helpful in it's logging...
=P)

promiscuous mode, in pam's rlogin auth lib, means that the '+' wild cards are
OK. By default, on most distributions, unless the word 'promiscuous' is in one
of it's options, these pluses are disregarded.
I haven't reached the stage where i've figured out whether this is really required or not... ;-)
