rsh is not a good idea - it's very insecure. Everyone is migrating to ssh. If your user needs to go from one system to another without a password - say, a shell script or cron job, they can generate a key pair (public & private) with the openssl software, and put the public key on the server(s) they needs to get to, and the private on their home machine.
