Hi everyone, I have a user running rhw4. He needs for me to open up rsh
for him. I looked in services and I
see to use kerberos rsh, you can open up kshell, but I don't use
kerberos. I was sure you could open it up

rsh is not a good idea - it's very insecure. Everyone is migrating to ssh. If your user needs to go from one system to another without a password - say, a shell script or cron job, they can generate a key pair (public & private) with the openssl software, and put the public key on the server(s) they needs to get to, and the private on their home machine.
