rsh access is enabled with
- options rsh.enable on
- and /etc/hosts.equiv
- or .rhosts
if root volume is mounted from a machine, this doesn't mean this machine can rsh to it

without rsh and telnet (passwd sniffing)
you can try securadmin which propose sshd

you might as well have rsh access.

It can be a little safer if you run the script from a safe machine 
that has the filer:/vol/root/etc mounted,
so that you can put the safe machine name in .rhosts, run the script, 
then remove .rhosts.

Sure. We have all kinds of script to take snapshots, delete older
