Rsh for diagnostics? Has anyone changed this?

I don't think that there is any need to change the scripts, since
ssh, scp and slogin are replacements for the "r"-commands.  By
installing ssh the accordings "r"-commands are just symbolic links to
the appropiate "s"-replacements.  So when the diag-scripts call
rcp, they really call scp.
/usr/bin/rcp -> /usr/bin/scp
/usr/bin/rsh -> /usr/bin/ssh
/usr/bin/rlogin -> /usr/bin/slogin

Greetings,
