To get the r commands to work, you need to have a .rhosts in your home
directory listing the systems/users that can connect. I don't recommend
using the r commands on anything but a home network, and not at all on any
system that is connected to the internet unless you realy know what you
are doing. (Block ALL access to them from the internet with your
firewall, hosts.allow and hosts.deny.)
