Telnet & rlogin

Hello,
	rlogin if set up properly or improperly as some may argue does not
require a passwd.  It will authenticate you by your host and who you are
logged into that host as.  Telnet will always prompt you for a login and a
passwd.
	For my private home based network - I like the r commands.

Hope thats a help,
Anthony
