Maybe, if you keep bugging me about it. :)

Well, see, that's the problem, you can't. The way masq is designed, all
masqueraded connections will be in the masq port range, somewhere
between 60000-65535. That's nowhere near the required 0-1024 range that
rlogin/rsh require. So I'm afraid it won't be possible using masq.
However, I had an idea recently to use the transparent-proxy feature of
the Linux kernel to trap outgoing rlogin/rsh requests, and proxy them to
the intended machine. It would work because the proxy could preserve
the desired port range. But I'm not sure if I know what I'm doing,
because I don't have a spec for the protocol used.
I got about halfway through building the proxy code, then my need for
such a utility disappeared. I suspect I'll have a need for it again in
a few months, but for now, development has stalled for a bit.
