The -x options on rsh, rcp, and rlogin rely on Kerberos support, which it
appears you haven't installed.
(example w/o kerberos installed)
> rcp -x
rcp: illegal option -- x
usage: rcp [-p] f1 f2
rcp [-pr] f1 ... fn directory
(example w/kerberos installed)
> rcp -x
usage: rcp [-Kpx] [-k realm] f1 f2
rcp [-Kprx] [-k realm] f1 ... fn directory
There's a tutorial on setting up Kerberos in the handbook, although it may
be out of date. However, Kerberos involves substantial administrative
overhead -- if you're not interested in that, try using SSH.
