This didn't just "disappear one day". It's been a screaming "don't do that"
issue since the invention of SSH, for years. If you have to run something
that is exactly like rsh with .rhosts, then run rsh with .rhosts.
Seriously, it's so much more secure to use tools like "ssh-agent" if you
need automatic behavior, I strongly recommend them to you.
