I do not have this set because the remote host has 5 ip's
assigned to it with one name!

I found my problem.  I had the allowed hosts in /etc/hosts.allow space
delimited and not comma delimited.  With that fixed it still complains
about not establishing a secure connection and the rlogind says the
remote host has an address mismatch but I can still login.  The host
mismatch is not supprising since the remote host has 5 ip's.

Thanks,
