Hmm... rlogin shows reference to rlogind... the man page contains
Once the source port and address have been checked, rlogind proceeds with
the authentication process described in rshd(8). It then allocates a
so we check out rshd(8)...
8. Rshd then validates the user using ruserok(3), which uses the file
/etc/hosts.equiv and the .rhosts file found in the user's home di-
rectory. The -l option prevents ruserok(3) from doing any valida-
tion based on the user's ``.rhosts'' file, unless the user is the
superuser.
hmm.. off to ruserok(3)...
machine name is listed in the ``hosts.equiv'' file, or the host and re-
mote user name are found in the ``.rhosts'' file; otherwise iruserok()
and examining /usr/share/skel/dot.rhosts (the template for .rhosts)
# $Id: dot.rhosts,v 1.3 1996/09/21 21:35:47 wosch Exp $

# .rhosts - trusted remote host name and user data base
#
# see hosts.equiv(5), rsh(1), rlogin(1), rcp(1)
#
# This file should NOT be group or other readable.

so I guess its there.. just a bit hidden and not too clear....
If your having some problems you can't figure the process for
authenticating is spelt out in the rshd/rlogind man pages, and
the code for the ruserok function is in
/usr/src/lib/libc/net/rcmd.c
