A bigger problem I have noticed is that the file is setup (by default)
to run at 4:05 am Sat morning by root - but it is owned by bin.  With
that 'problem' and a combination of either a netgroups bug or the +
in hosts.equiv (default on 413) this makes for a big problem with
the default SunOS configuration.  Not that we don't know that SunOS is 
shipped pretty lamely configured.
