More on this problem:

Even though I have not changed the "shell" line in /etc/inetd.conf and it
looks correct to me (it just executes /usr/sbin/in.rshd), the
/var/log/daemon.log file creates a line like:

<date here> mulinux rshd[3089]: usage rshd [-ahlLn]

each time I try to rsh a command from the other computer. It seems to be
saying that is it being run with unknown command options, but the
inetd.conf file doesn't even have any command options for it.
