First, what steps did you take to try to enable the rsh server? Your bug report only shows that you've run the rsh client, not that you've installed an rsh server.

Second, why, in 2015, are you trying to use rsh? Even if you get an rsh server running, rsh is absolutely unsupported by Canonical and 100% superseded by ssh for all uses.

Thirdly, why have you marked this bug as a high priority to fix for 14.04.3? Even if there is some corner case compatibilty reason to run an rsh server on Ubuntu, this does not look to me like something that should be a priority to address in 14.04.

Since its mentioned by Canonical in comment#6, that rsh is unsupported and we need to use ssh instead of rsh. Hence I am going to close this bug .
