For the bog-standard Berkeley rsh, you want to allow "shell": shell stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rshd rshd If you are using the Kerberised rsh, use this instead: kshell stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/rshd rshd -k Bear in mind that ssh offers far greater security than either telnet or rsh, and has a mode of operation that mimics the traditional "r" commands pretty well. There are good, freely-available ssh clients out there for most OSes, so interoperability shouldn't be a problem.
