First of all thanks for all the replies, very helpful! This is the solution
that worked. The interesting thing is that instead of creating an entry
with a username (as per the man page), it is simply the FQDM, that's it.
But I'm not that interested now that it works. For those who are
interested, uname -a reports:
SunOS jrsun 5.8 Generic_108528-17 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-100

| The rhost "authentication" has the annoying habit of ONLY using the
| first name it gets back when resolving a hostname by IP. Try,
|
| $ perl -e 'use Socket;print
| scalar(gethostbyaddr(inet_aton("123.234.345.456"), AF_INET)),
| "\n";' > .rhosts
|
| This should put the right hostname in the user's .rhost file.
