Yes, both sides.

Okay, didn't know about this. So, securetty needs a single line listing  
rsh?
Looking at /etc/pam.d/rsh, there is a note about "For root login to  
succeed...",
but I don't need to allow root rsh.  Anyway, the /etc/pam.d/rsh and the  
/etc/securetty on frogger both match their equal on www machine.

Double checked...yup:
*:shell  LISTEN
