# grep rshd /etc/*.conf
/etc/inetd.conf:#shell  stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/libexec/rshd      rshd
/etc/inetd.conf:#kshell stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/libexec/rshd      rshd -k
/etc/inetd.conf:#shell  stream  tcp6    nowait  root    /usr/libexec/rshd      rshd

Where else could rshd be getting launched from?  /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ ?

To receive incoming email, sent for example to root@[my.ip.here] don't you
need MX records and qualified/registered domain name info??  I haven't been
able to send email to myself yet :(
