Yes, I know they're not
secure, but that's not a concern in my environment - I'm certainly
not going to allow Linux on a workstation to dictate the login
program used on the non-Linux servers and their applications on our
isolated network. I say this to avoid wasting the time of
security-crazed newsgroup posters - please don't bother. ;-)

I wonder if this service is being made difficult to use on
purpose or if I missed some relevant setting in the installation?

rsh, rlogin and telnet are deprecated from a security point of view, for
reasons that you obviously don't want to hear. Your "isolated network" is
still a network with the same security concerns, wheter you're connected to
the outside world or not.
