I got rsh working between two FC4 hosts.  On the server side I had to 
enable both rsh and rlogin in xinetd.d, and I had to unfilter ports 
512:514/tcp (on the server side).

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -s 192.168.1.0/24 -p tcp --dport 512:514 -j ACCEPT

No additional netfilter rules were required on the client side.

SELinux is disabled on both the client and the server.
