Another reason to add them is if you ever change accounts, or use the
same .rhost file for different machines/accounts (I had five accounts
at school that all shared the same .rhost file (copies)). Adding the
name reinforces that I want "warner at hydrovax" to use this account,
rather than "whatever I am now at hydrovax".
