Thanks for the advice, but since we don't have password aging turned on, that 
can't be our problem. One part of the problem (rlogin from ultrix to irix 
3.3.1 requests a password change ALWAYS) was fixed by removing passwdreq from 
/etc/config/login.options, as suggested to me by John Fwu. (Thanks John)

We still have a problem in using rlogin from vms using Multinet 2.1 to irix
3.3.1. The problem is that the user is always prompted for the password,
despite the proper .rhosts entry. If anyone finds a fix for this, please post
it to this group or mail me and I'll post it. Thanks.
