Thanks Larry, I found the thread, and it turns out that my problem was that
the .rhosts file needs to have permission of 644. I had 666, so rshd
obviously enforces that the file only be writeable by the owner. I'm told
that sshd also has similar rules for it's private keys. Apparently this has
nothing to do with Cygwin, and is how rshd/ssld are implemented, obviously
for security.
Regards,
Steven

Check the email archives within the last week or so. There was a discussion
on just this issue which you may find useful.
