Note that in your solution below, you are *not* using rlogin and rsh --
you are using ssh.

With that as a premise, why not just use ssh directly?  It's probably
fundamentally less confusing than trying to alias/sym link things to be
what they really are not.  Specifically: it violates the Law of Least
Astonishment to have rsh actually invoke ssh.  For example, if I invoke
rsh, I expect rsh to run (not ssh).  And so on.

I think you'll greatly confuse your users if you use this alias/sym link
approach.  Instead, just use ssh directly -- OSCAR should have setup ssh
properly such that you don't need passwords to login between nodes and
it should function "close enough" to what rsh/rlogin do that your users
won't care.

Just my $0.02.
