rsh/rsync as Root on Red Hat 9.0?

[Rhugga]

First of all, I know this is insecure. I am using this temporarily to 
distribute software. scp/ssh is too slow for the quantity of data I am 
moving.

I tried to enable root rsh access by adding "server_args = -h"  in 
/etc/xinetd.d/rsh: (as per the in.rshd man page)

service shell
{
       socket_type        = stream
       wait                    = no
       user                    = root
       log_on_success   += USERID
       log_on_failure     += USERID
       server                 = /usr/sbin/in.rshd
       server_args        = -h
       disable                = no
}
I then restarted xinetd and saw this in /var/adm/messages:

Sep 14 08:22:55 ssh-gateway xinetd[18797]: xinetd Version 2.3.11 started 
with libwrap loadavg options compiled in.
Sep 14 08:22:55 ssh-gateway xinetd[18797]: Started working: 6 available 
services
Sep 14 08:22:57 ssh-gateway xinetd: xinetd startup succeeded

I searched google and saw many others with the same problem but not 
solution. (in fact one guy claims to have submitted this as a bug to Red 
Hat) Anyway, has anyone gotten this working on Red Hat 9.0???

Thx,
CC
