"+" entry doesn't work in hosts.equiv

[Bruce Dobrin]

Under current Linux, the "+" entry in hosts.equiv is allowed if you have :

"auth       required     /lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so promiscuous"

in the /etc/pam.d/rsh file

since cygwin has no pam, is there a way to get the + to work (or something
equivalent?)

we have over 2000 constantly changing hosts,  and keeping the hosts.equiv
updated is a bit of a nightmare..
(I've been getting around this for the last number of months by having an
empty passwd field in passwd file,  but this is a bad solution)

Thank you,
Bruce Dobrin
