I presume you mean the servers (rlogind, rshd and rexecd). They can be
found in the rsh-server package.
However, if it all possible, try to use ssh instead of rexec and rsh.
The changes to the software to do this would be minimal, and the
security improvement is well worth the effort, IMHO.

If you _really_ want to still use rsh/rexec, check out what gets
installed along with the rsh-server package, and that should answer your
question.
