Rlogin & Rsh Security

[John Cristy]

  I have read that the use of rlogin & rsh is discourgaged due to its
  lack of user authentication but the same concerns do not apply to
  telnet.  Suppose that you remove the /.rhosts and /etc/hosts.equiv
  file, and assure that all user .rhosts contain a system name and user
  name on each line.  Given those conditions, isn't rlogin, rsh, and
  telnet all at the same level of security exposure (password level
  security).  Or are there still risks associated with rlogin & rsh
  that are not associated with telnet?
  
  Please Email your replies.  Thanks in advance.
