I would strongly recomend using ssh (secure shell). It is very similiar
to rsh but it is encrypted. I think rsh is considered very insecure. You
can find ssh rpms at ftp.replay.com (i think, it may be .com or .org).
good luck!

(p.s. rsh probably wouldn't be too bad if it was between two machines on a
isolated network (behind a firewall maybe), but using rsh on a macine
connected to the Net(tm) is probably a bad idea.)
