Although it's more of a security risk, I really like setting up my  
/etc/hosts.equiv file on all my machines to contain the names of all my other  
machines, and that way any user can rsh to his account on any computer in my  
subnet without any sort of setup.

For the security minded, it also means you can run a script every night  
deleting everyone's .rhosts file without pissing them off too badly.
