And there's often a very good reason why not. Using this to "get around" non-rshable command limitations can compromise your filer and lead to many crashes.
it can and has often saved me from having to track down who is telnetted in when for some reason the console port is unavailable. also on my older filers our operators telnet in to kick off backups. if for some reason i need to run commands on the filer this is the only way.
i haven't yet had a filer crash due to running commands via rsh. knowing that this option is available is useful, but as with any operation on the filer, sure, it has the potential to crash the machine.
