Subject: rcp/rsh on Cisco routers

I noticed in a recent Cisco IOS 10.2 document that their routers can now 
act as rcp & rsh servers and clients.  Is it just me, or did everyone 
else gasp and shriek at the concept of host based authentication services 
on core node routers?  I understand this could be convenient, but I hope 
Cisco has provided a way to disable this feature, which could turn out to 
be an enormous security hole in Cisco based firewalls.
