For future readers via a google search:

To allow linux root rsh access, after checking hosts.allow, hosts.deny,
/root/.rhosts etc. etc., you need to enter rsh and perhaps rexec
to /etc/securetty.

This is a bad idea.

Use ssh instead. If you require passwordless access, use RSA key
authentication.

It's almost always possible to avoid having to use root for such
purposes too. Use su and/or sudo.
