Can you confirm that this works on this machine otherwise? I want to make
sure the rsh isn't a red herring.

I am unable to confirm using ssh from Mandrake 8.2 to Red Hat 7.3.  Then
again, it's passing my xauth and display, so it's even displaying properly
(though very slowly).  You may want to try ssh as an alternative to rsh (I
try to avoid rsh unless I'm very, very far from the Internet, which I'm
not at the moment).
