You looking for the client or the daemon?

Client should be available "out of the box" (i.e. you can issue "rsh" on
z/OS to execute commands on another system.

Daemon is there (to allow to issue "rsh" on other systems to execute
commands on z/OS), but will probably require some configuration/setup.  See
the Communication Server Configuration Reference manual.  Look in the
IBM-supplied proclibs for a proc called RXSERVE.

The daemon is a real kludgy interface.  It submits batch jobs which execute
the TSO TMP to execute the requested commands, then sucks the output off the
spool and sends it back to the client.

As somebody else pointed out, you might be better off with SSH.  We use RSH
because we have applications that were set up back in the dark ages before
Ported Tools made SSH available on z/OS.  But if you're not already using
it, you might not want to start.
