I have a bunch of RHEL5.x servers that needs to controlled from Windows 2008 server using RSH. While I am aware that SSH is more secure than RSH, I have no other options. The benchmark software that we are using will work on rsh only.

The problem is that the underlying rcmd(3) function, which is needed
for a rsh implementation, has been dropped from Windows Vista/2008.
Cygwin 1.7 has a replacement function, but on Cygwin 1.5.25 it's
not possible to run rsh on Vista or Server 2008.
