/etc/hosts.equiv will be following format as,

hostname username # comment

A will be hostname and B is username. C may be username or hostname.

A -B

It will allow r* login from A except username B

+ C

If C is hostname,

Any r* login from hostname C is allowded.

Else if C is username then,

Any username C from any remote hostname can able to do r* login.

r* = rlogin, rexec, remsh, rsh

hth.

Correct answer seems "C"
Good Luck,

[Alessandro Pilati]

Nothing is correct, if you refer to file host.quiv :-)

If file was hosts.equiv, so the correct answer should be C.
