want to permit rsh between hosts

[Blaise Canzian <blaise@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have used rdist to update various files (such as /etc/hosts) on other 
machines on our LAN.  Under RH7.3 this worked, under RH9 something has 
broken it.

An rsh command from the server host as root to a client host returns the 
 "permission denied" error.

service xinetd is turned on with chkconfig.

The "rsh" file in /etc/xinetd.d has "disable=no".

There is a ~/.rhosts file with the server's name in the root home 
directory on the client, permission is 400.

/etc/hosts.allow includes the local network by IP octets, by domain, and 
"LOCAL".

I cannot think of what else is denying permission for the rsh.  Any help 
would be appreciated.  Thanks.
