Change the command in.rshd in your /etc/inetd.conf file to read
in.rshd -h.  Same works for in.rlogind, if you want easier rlogin.
Someone changed this a few months ago and did not document it
well.

rsh root priv

[Nathan O. Siemers]

Hello all:

I'm having trouble telling linux to allow rsh's to work as root from
remote machines. Root's .rhosts, /etc/hosts.equiv, and
/etc/hosts.allow don't seem to affect the "permission denied"
result. Solution?

Thanks,
