Re: one password prompt wanted instead of two

Welcome to the club :-)

You either have double password prompt and feel yourself safely
or get rid of the second prompt and step on a shaky ground.

If you are brave enough to go the latter way just add your
terminal server name to /etc/hosts.equiv on your host and make
sure your rlogind honors this file.

You are now vulernable to spoofing attacks.

Question to Livingston:

Are there any chance ComOS will support strong authentication
in at least rlogin protocol? For example SSH-style RSA authentication?
This would solve the double prompt puzzle and won't compromise
host security the way the current solution does.
