That's what the code implied to my layman's eyes. You can see for
yourself here

 
ftp://ftp.uk.linux.org/pub/linux/Networking/netkit/netkit-rsh-0.17.tar.g
z
  http://svn.sliepen.eu.org/rsh-redone/

I didn't try out those implementations, but there seem to be Debian
packages of both and RPMs of netkit-rsh.

I already checked that, but a quick search for "rcp" and "rsh" didn't
reveal anything useful.

Thanks,
