I meant that you should use public key crypto authentication, not
rhosts authentication. If you generate a key pair with
ssh-keygen{,2}, then put the public key in the
~/.ssh/authorized_keys{,2} file on the machine to which you're making
a connection, no messing with config files should be necessary.
