Dear Maintainer,

rsh-server depends on inet-superserver which is provided by inetutils-inetd or xinetd
rsh-server, in its postinst, launches update-inetd, which is ONLY provided by inetutils-inetd and NOT by xinetd.

Therefore, if you install rsh-server on a machine with xinetd, the install crashes with "update-inetd, command not found"

thanks
Benjamin
