[Patch to rlogind to allow insecure root logins deleted]
An FYI to those folks that saw this patch appear in the PR database. All
you have to do is add the `secure' flag to the appropriate lines (ttyp0,
ttyp1, etc.) to let root login from somewhere other than the console. No
code changes are necessary.
Note: Either way, this is a potentially large security problem and is
STRONGLY DISCOURAGED.
