Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    As root, you can turn rsh on this way:

service shell start
service login start

    (To turn it off, replace the 'start' with 'stop')

    From there it's a matter of the usual rsh configuration
    files, eg. ~/.rhosts and whatnot.

    For instance, to allow root to be able to rsh from
    machine to machine without it prompting for passwords,
    you might use:

echo + > /var/root/.rhosts
chmod 600 /var/root/.rhosts

    Pretty sure that's all that's necessary.
