hosts.equiv ignored after pam updates? (rsh/rlogin)

[Bill Brelsford <k2di2@att.net>]

After a recent update to sid, incoming rlogin and rsh connections
ignore /etc/hosts.equiv (and ~/.rhosts) and ask for a password or
fail with "permission denied".  The rsh-server (and -client)
packages were not updated, but libpam-modules, libpam-runtime and
libpam0g were upgraded to 0.99.7.1-4.  I'm not sure one of them is
the culprit (and see no new bugs filed for them), but pam is
involved in the authentication process.

Is this a known problem?  Anyone else experiencing it?
