I can't seem to get Solaris to accept rsh's from FreeBSD.  The Solaris
machine will accept rsh's from the other Solaris machine, and I have
a line in hosts.equiv for the FreeBSD box and it is in /etc/hosts as
the man page for rsh on Solaris seems to suggest is necessary.  In
short, the Solaris box is set up to accept rsh's from the other Solaris
box and the FreeBSD box exactly the same, yet the Solaris box doesn't
like the FreeBSD box.  

Any clues?
