Issues with OpenSSH 2.9p1 on HPUX11

[Jeff Newton]

In order for rhosts auth to work on HPUX11, I need to fully qualify the
hostname in .rhosts.  The same DOES NOT hold true for Solaris 2.7.

Are there issues with the HPUX11 version of auth_rhosts2 code that would
cause the difference below?  My HPUX11 machines are set up correctly
with respect to DNS, domain names, etc.


HPUX11 sshd -d -d:

debug1: Attempting authentication for newton.
debug2: auth_rhosts2: clientuser newton hostname boston.pmc-sierra.bc.ca
ipaddr 216.241.226.33
debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 1412/67 (e=0)
debug1: restore_uid
debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 1412/67 (e=0)
debug1: restore_uid
Failed rhosts for newton from 216.241.226.33 port 823 ruser newton

Solaris 2.7 sshd -d -d:

debug1: Attempting authentication for newton.
debug2: auth_rhosts2: clientuser newton hostname odin ipaddr
134.87.115.142
debug1: temporarily_use_uid: 1412/67 (e=0)
