In OpenBSD 5.6, the prototype and man-page for hosts.equiv(5) have 
disappeared. However, this file is still referenced in sshd_config(5) 
and (if I'm searching the sources correctly) in /usr/src/usr.bin/ssh 
auth-rhosts.c which is included in the sshd/Makefile.

Is the removal accidental or an indication that its use is deprecated? 
If the latter, what is the [new] recommended "best practices" for 
HostBasedAuthentication within a cluster of trusted servers?

Thanks in advance.
