Hi Linux Users,
	I would like to enable root login without requiring a password, by
using rlogin and the .rhosts file in the /root directory.  Unfortunately,
the Linux binary of the rlogin daemon will allow .rhosts access for any
user *but* root.  
	So, does anybody know where I can find the SOUCE CODE for the
rlogin daemon, so I can remove the check and recompile it myself?
I've found it for the telnet daemon, which doesn't help, but not for
the rlogin daemon.  Please respond directly to me by email.  Thanks.
