Here is a fix to rexd.c to do some security checking. When rexd gets a
request, it finds the IP address of the requester. The addition I made is
to find its host name and look it up in /etc/hosts.equiv. It essentially
makes rexd as secure as rshd.
This is for OS3.x sources. Does anyone have a fix for OS4? We don't
have OS4 src.
