Yes, yes, automating such changes would be easy to do, but that
doesn't get at the roots of the problem:
[1] The chances that I'll forget to run this shell script after
editing rcpthosts is just as high as me forgetting to modify the
filter file in the first place.
[2] What if someone else is doing something similar on the box? If I
modify rcpthosts without modifying THEIR list, then I could break
things as well. (Purely hypothetical situation, but hopefully you
see my point.)
