I'm may be totally lost here but IIRC last time I needed rsh-like services I
simply uncommented
the entries in inetd.onf and installed rshd (also be advised that the rcp in
Debian is more than likely
a link to scp...); the rsh deamon was started and added to the init logins
by the package scripts and after
that I only needed to edit /etc/hosts.equiv for my full insecure r-services
frenzy.
I probably didn't understood your doubt though, so feel free to ignore this
message :)
cheers,
