As the description says, this change has to be applied to the man-pages package. (In reply to Mukesh Thapa from comment #0) > Above statement is missing from man page of "ruserok(3)" Actually the statement is not missing, but it's incomplete. The ruserok() function fails also if the .rhosts file is hardlinked anywhere.
