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

Why is that safer? Seems to me that if you've got the root vol mounted, 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.
