On UNIX users can have their personal .rhosts files which lists users
that are allowed to login into the account, in the form:

silver:~->2% cat .rhosts
+ michaelg
+ foobar

And it works as advertised on every UNIX that I tried (Solaris, IRIX).
However it looks like on Linux the behaviour is different: putting
usernames into .rhosts makes no effect, but putting hostnames _does_!

Why is the difference? 
Anyone?
