I used ssh-host-config. You're right about sshd too.

Checked, it's SYSTEM.

$ ls -l /usr/sbin/in.r*

Just minor diffs and same for all in.* programs.
I tried chmod 750 with no different result.

But I was more thinking if a file which only in.rshd.exe uses,
and potential problems with _it's_ contents or permissions.
Can't think of any such file though.

Yes, and "rsh localhost" lets me in without typing password, using
~/.rhosts .

With no .rhosts, wrong permission, or wrong content it prompts me for
password (like it should).

Great that it hangs! At least it increases the chance that either of
us finds a solution. :-)
