But the dependancies need to change.  I want rwho on one system but I do
NOT want rwhod on it. I want rsh but I do NOT want rshd. Separating the
clients from the daemons would be a good idea ... netstd-client and
netstd-server would be better.

It should check to see if you have ssh installed and ask if you want to
use ssh for those services.
