rsh runs from xinetd.  If xinetd is not installed, install it.  Once xinetd is
running start it with service xinetd start.  Once xinetd is running use
"chkconfig rsh on" to start it.  You will also want to run "chkconfig xinetd
on" to ensure that xinetd (and subsequently rsh) will start on future boots. 
Please be aware that rsh is completely insecure and is not advisable to use.
