in thread module for 'r' commands?

I believe the rest of the r-commands (like rcp and rsh) are built on top of the rexec protocol. I know that when you turn off the rexec daemon, they all go away. {grin} Look at the source for the rcp command in Linux or BSD-something.

    Not necessarily true, as I can verify that Solaris will still allow rcp and rsh after commenting rexec out of the inetd.conf and doing a 
    # kill -HUP $(ps -ef | grep "[i]netd" | awk '{print $2}')
