I think in our *base* install unsecure network tools like rsh should
*not* be installed. If someone does need them she/he can always install
it afterwards, especially if our installer is supposed to use the
original Red Hat Linux CDs. Just for security's sake. Of course not
everyone will agree with it - like those people whining that their
sendmail did no longer accept incoming messages, but that was to close
down all these open mail relays...

RHLight could only be used by Red Hat, inc. due to trademark issues...
