rdist and rsh

I'm trying to rdist from a RH9 machine to a new Fedora machine. I'm
assumming that in order for rdist to work, I need to get rsh to work on the
remote host. I can't seem to rsh between these two hosts, I get a
"connection refused" error. Can someone give me some pointers on getting
rdist and rsh to work? THanks!

rsh is depreciated, since it's completely insecure. You should
install, probably it is per default installed, just
'/etc/init.d/sshd start' and use ssh, rdist has a -P switch to
use ssh as transport. (man rdist)

Good luck
