  NAME

    hosts.equiv - Host equivalency name database

  DESCRIPTION

    The /etc/hosts.equiv file contains a list of hosts.  If a user on a remote
    host has an entry in the local /etc/passwd file and the remote hostname is
    in the hosts.equiv file, the remote user gains access to the local host.
    The format of the hosts.equiv file is one hostname per line.

    The hosts.equiv file is used by commands such as rlogin, rcmd, and rcp.

    The hosts.equiv file is not consulted if a user is trying to gain access
    as root.
