/usr/sbin/in.rexecd hangs on incoming connection; does not function
The rexec protocol was broken, fixed now. Please reopen this bug if upgrading to the latest rsh package from Raw Hide does not fix your problem.
rexecd is still broken in rawhide and the 6.1 beta (lorax) release. Both use rsh-0.10-28.i386.rpm which contains netkit-rsh-0.10. A new version (netkit-rsh-0.15) is available at ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/Networking/netkit-devel/netkit-rsh and fixes the hanging rexecd.

Raw Hide has rsh-0.16-1. Please reopen this bug if that does not fix the rexecd problem.
