Probably because they have been deprecated and thus omitted from your
distro, and for very good reasons.

So my problem is how to enable rsh to log in nodes without password.

Use ssh instead. Create RSA keys for yourself:

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa

Copy your ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the
remote_systems:/home/amy/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Thank you very much. So from your words I have to reinstall rsh?

No, what he said is you shouldn't use rsh. ssh does everything rsh
does, it does a whole lot more (things like tunnelling X if you need
that), and it does it with much better security. Admittedly, it takes
a little more CPU because of the encryption, but not enough to be
significant.
