HOWTO HP-UX remsh to RHEL6


I have a HP-UX system that has a script on it that runs against a Linux system.
Were changing Linux systems so I need to configure remsh on the new linux system.

so I found rsh-server in the RHEL packages and Im going to dowload and install that but whats next ?
rsh-server-0.17-40.el5.i386 is the package... it says server thats the one I need right  to serve as an active listener for the HP-UX system?

I think so, but now how do I configure it ?...
thanks

thx guys for the note on SSL not rsh however im already using SSL for another service on the same client box and am not sure if I could effectively wrangle separate dedicated keys concerned it would conflict with eachother and could chance downtime of critical services.

I also am in high appreciation of the fact that rsh is COMPLETELY INSECURE however we are using it within a "carefully firewalled private" sub-network .

moving forward with installing rsh yum driven package

interesting
when attempted with rpm, it said dependency missing xinetd required
but when I ran 'yum install rsh-server' in CLI it installed successfully ...

good to know... ;)
oh ok I tried connecting and I authenticate but now it looks like I need to track down the rcp command and configure it...
when I type in # rcp  in CLI it responds with usage flags so it must be active and listening ... now I figure Ill check my remote script making sure I have the full path correct ... I wonder is there anything else dependent to check which I may not have yet identified?

thx guys
