[Beowulf] password-less "rsh"

[Brian R Smith]

On Fedora, the easiest way to do this (if you don't use/need kerberos)
is by 

rm -f /etc/profile.d/krb*

The only problem is that kerberos rpm updates will put the files back on
occasion.  As well, the kerberos rsh will automatically switch
to /usr/bin/rsh if the remote host does not have kerberos extensions.
It has done this by default for as long as I can remember.

BTW, does anyone even use kerberos rsh?  I never hear it mentioned by
anyone.
