It's been a long time since I was required to setup passwordless
rsh/rlogin but from memory, I had to hack about with some of the
rsh/rlogin PAM configs under /etc/pam.d to remove some password
requirements. This was back on RH7.x.
There's a bunch of Kerberos authentication required for the
CentOS/RHEL rsh/rlogin variants too.
