| I am exactly in the same situation. Our IT department allows access to
| their tape archiver only by way of '/usr/bin/rsh server command'. For
| well >15 years now.
|
| In my case, what I needed to get it to work was :
|
| (1) install /usr/bin/rsh by 'yum install rsh'
|
| (2) Add the following to iptables :
|
| -A INPUT -p tcp -m state --state NEW -m tcp -s [server IP] --dport
| 1011:1023 -j ACCEPT
|
| You may want to adjust the port range by examining the ports used for
| inbound connections from the server.
|
| Hope this helps,

Did you install just @core? I have done @core as described earlier with rsh and rsh-server and it just hangs so I'm missing something. On the workstation install it works using the exact same setup so I think I'm missing a package somewhere, I'm just not sure which one.
