  | rdist(1) calls rcmd(3).

But dump does not...   dump -f host:/dev/tape requires rsh as currently
implemented.

"dump -f - | anything at all" is not a substitute, as then dump doesn't
get to rewind/unload the tape, when it requires a tape change.

Until that one is fixed, discarding rsh is not an option, even if it would
be otherwise (which I don't think is necessarily true anyway).
