- Do you rlogin by way of a .rhosts file? In that case this behaviour
- is expected. SUN-DES-1 authorisation works with a publickey and a
- secretkey. The secretkey is decoded with your password when you
- login (with your password) or keylogin. This secretkey is needed in
- secure RPC transactions such as SUN-DES-1 authorisation.
- On the upside, the superuser cannot fake your identity over the net,
- unless he knows your password. On the downside, you'll have to type
- your password at least once on each machine you use.
