Probabl you do not have rsh (in the rsh-client package) installed.

Because ssh is command-line compatible with rsh, and is often used with
programs which expect this interface, ssh provides the alternative
/usr/bin/rsh.

If you install rsh-client, that client will provide a higher-priority
alternative for /usr/bin/rsh.  You can examine the current alternatives
with "update-alternatives --config rsh".
