I tried to use the rshd (actually called rshsvc) from the MS resource kit
with a little success.
The problem was that the rshd didn't seem to want to flush stdout until the
process it spawned
exited.  Since pvmd doesn't exit (though it does disassociate itself with
its console) the calling
rsh (from hoster) would hang waiting for the reply.  With a distasteful
batch file hack, I was able
to overcome this.  (Won't provide this hack w/out some arm twisting :-) ).

Using the shareware rexed from Ataman (www.ataman.com) works like a charm!
