Ah, thank you very much. I misread your mail, sorry. I'm not sure
how I managed to do that; you were quite clear.
I have duplicated the problem, almost. For me, it's the *shortest*
entry in /etc/hosts.equiv that is used. Could you try re-arranging
your /etc/hosts.equiv file, moving your last entry up a few entries
and see if the same entry is still selected?
The bug is now on our list. Thanks very much for bringing it to our
attention.

I was using rlogin; I just made a mistake and got the sense of your
mail backwards. telnet logins don't use hosts.equiv at all.
