That's not the appropriate check - what you need to do is make sure that
the IP address resolves - using your system's standard mechanisms, which
may or may not be the same as nslookup's - to the name that you put in
/etc/hosts.equiv. The easiest way to do this on many Unix systems is to,
once you've logged in, check the output of 'who' (note that the hostname
may be truncated there though) - unfortunately this doesn't work on
HP-UX 9.03 at least - or you can weed it out of 'netstat's output.
Most likely you need the fully qualified name (host.domain) and you have
used the short one, or vice versa - you can always put both in...
Second(?:-) most likely is something wrong with your IP-addr->name
resolution - if so you'll have to fix it...
