There's more to it for the root user.
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 validation
based on the user's ``.rhosts'' file (unless the user is the supe-
ruser and the -h option is used.) If the -h option is not used, su-
peruser accounts may not be accessed via this service at all.
Use ssh instead. It's much easier to use, provides more functionality, and is
secure. Find it at ftp://ftp.replay.com.
Too tired to comment on the rest of your bash questions.. :P
