Shalom,

The bash shell might be causing problems if thats installed as the default shell on the HP-UX system.

Checklist.

.rhosts # the contents and permissions.

/etc/hosts.equiv
/etc/hosts.deny
/etc/inetd.conf

/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log

It's extrange that rlogins works and rsh don't. What do you get when you use rsh? Timeout? Permission denied? Password prompt?
