Can't seem to get in via .shosts anymore after security update of ssh on woody?

[Walter Tautz <wtautz@math.uwaterloo.ca>]

Just curious as to why I can no longer use a .shosts file to get in as root anymore. 
I haven't changed sshd_config in any way. Anyone aware of some kind of change
I'm running woody and have:
