--- Comment #3 from Jochen Keil
Understood completely, and I have more information. I think that this software is really absolutely broken and possibly should be considered for removal.
I'm currently looking into this, there are not many packages which depend on rsh, so it might get removed in future versions.
I built an Ubuntu server to match our OpenSuse server and enabled RSH and now Ubuntu is doing the same thing.
I'm kinda glad that's it's not only an openSUSE issue :)
I ran xinetd in the foreground and when it fails, the RSH request is not even getting to xinetd at all.
This makes me think that the problem might be rooted in xinetd. Did you try to run rsh without xinetd? I've added a .socket [1] and .service [2] file for systemd in Factory, but you could use them to run in.rsh from the commandline
If you want to explore resolving this as a back burner issue, I would be happy to help. But it might be time just to retire this package, it's really not working very well.
I'm pinging the previous maintainer of this package, maybe he has a sudden inspiration what might cause this issue. Out of curiousity: What kind of load are we talking about? How many (concurrent) users/connections does this system have to deal with? [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/view_file/network:utilities/rsh/rsh.socke...
