rsh aix to linux

I have a requirement to rsh from a AIX machien to a linux machine

from aixuser on aixhost I run

rsh linuxhost -l linuxuser date

returns

permission denied


/etc/hosts.equiv on linuxhost is

+ aixuser
+ aixhost

rshd is running on linuxhost

What am I missing?

Check /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny. By the way, why rsh and not
ssh?

You may need to setup a .rhosts file of allowed hosts on the linux machine

Keep in mind rsh ... telnet is not secure

Before records in ~/.rhosts or /etc/hosts.equiv will be considered,
rsh service should be enabled first. Usually in.rshd is started by
xinetd daemon, so you might need to adjust /etc/xinetd.d/rsh
file ("disable" and/or "only_from" attributes). Also, if "linuxuser"
is "root", then you need to add "rsh" into the /etc/securetty file
as well.
