With what facility? 'man pam_rhosts' only tells me

debug       syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.

I suspected 'auth', but that wasn't it.

That's better. From a 'rsh mara "cat /etc/hosts"' I get the described
silence on the client side and

Mar  9 23:33:30 mara inetd[1495]: connection from XXXX, service shell (tcp)
Mar  9 23:33:30 mara rshd[1495]: in openpam_dispatch(): calling

Mar  9 23:33:31 mara rshd[1495]: in openpam_dispatch(): pam_rhosts.so:

in the debug log.

Everyone involved seems happy - but me...

Any ideas what else I could check?
