rsh autologin trick
One issue I found was that putting + was not working. You need to make explicit entries for each hostname and user in .rhosts file on the target system.
Another thing is that if .rhosts file is writable by any one other than the user, autologin will not work. It should have 644 permission.
Don't use rsh! ssh(1) is more secure and supports many more options including compression.
