Mostly, your tools / usage is just an "rsh hostname" or "rsh hostname command". Install SSHDs and ssh and change the "r" for an "s" in the commands. That's it for password based authentication. Whereever you used arcane rhosts files (*shudder*), you can use public key challenge to be password-free. The user's public key goes into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys of the account to log into. Whatever is hard to transfer to ssh is most likely worth to be transferred immediately ;) With a company from the 80s, you'll surely have problems with migration, as there will surely be forgotten processes trying to do rsh. But... migrate anyway. rsh/rhosts is pure stupidity nowadays.
