Let me summarize the steps we've taken to resolve the telnet/rlogin/protocol error problems we've been having during our 4.0 upgrade: 1. route add default your-gateway 1 do this early on in /etc/rc.local 2. set your subnet mask and and broadcast address properly 3. DO NOT use aliases (pet host names) in your /etc/hosts.equiv and .rhosts files. This is the kicker. This caused a lot of problems, seemingly having nothing to do with /etc/hosts.equiv or .rhosts. Users note perceived performance increases since the upgrade.
