Now, I have never done this and still wonder what brain-dead SW would parse the /etc/hosts.equiv or /.rhosts file and take the # as not a comment, but as an actual name (and be tricked into doing it), but hey...I'm just passing on what I read awhile back (and maybe it is of no concern now).
The syntax of the /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts doesn't have a comment. If you put something in there it's assumed to mean something. Administrators need to know the syntax of the files they deal with.
