Obligatory disclaimer: rsh is an insecure protocol. Implemented with
.rhosts support, it is even more insecure. Mark, I assume you know your
working and networking environments enough better than I that you can make
intelligent decisions about these risks, but this is a "kids, don't try
this at home" wave-off to any true beginners here... in most settings, what
Mark wants to do simply *should not* be done.
See if this tells you what you need to know:

If not, you re going to have to give us the details of how you have rshd
(or maybe in.rshd -- naming practice varies a bit) set up ... generally,
"What might I have done wrong?" is too demanding a question to get an
answer (compared to "Here's what I did; what is actually wrong about it?).
