I'm likely to try these using Kerberos telnet/rlogin, neither of which ask for passwords... so It Would Be Nice If the password prompt checking code was optional (or maybe just only triggered if it *saw* a password prompt...) I thought "telnet -a" would check .rhosts on some systems as well, not sure though. It may just save you from typing a password.
