Under FBSD-4.8, this is not a problem. Under FBSD-5.1, nothing I do
seems to allow rsh from another LAN host.

A TCPDUMP of the rsh session shows "root.root.<command>" coming from
"source" and then "permission denied" coming from "target", where the
TCPDUMP is running. The "source" host displays: "rshd: Login
incorrect.". RSH from "target" to "source" works just fine?!?
