I am trying to use rdist to distribute system files from
one Debian host to nine Debian desktop hosts.

How/Where does one set up in.rshd so that root can rsh in as rdist attempts? 

In /etc/inetd.conf, as below?  Or what?

# /etc/inetd.conf:  see inetd(8) for further informations.

#:BSD: Shell, login, exec and talk are BSD protocols.
#shell          stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  
/usr/sbin/in.rshd
shell           stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/sbin/tcpd  
/usr/sbin/in.rshd -h
