on rshd and rlogind. However, note that:
1: rshd used to drop a connection with -a if the hostname != ip address.
This is unneeded, because iruserok() does it's own checking.
It was also wrong if .rhosts had an explicit IP address in it,
connections would be dropped from that host solely because the DNS was
mismatched even though it was explicitly intended to work by IP address.
2: rlogind and rshd check the hostname mappings by default now because that
is what goes into the utmp/wtmp and logs. If the hostname != ip address,
then it uses the IP address for logging/utmp/wtmp purposes. There isn't
much point logging ficticious hostnames.
3: rshd -a is now accepted (but ignored) for compatability. If you really
want to make life miserable for people with bad reverse DNS, use tcpd in
paranoid mode (which is questionable anyway, given DNS ttl tweaking).
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
