"default remote shell uses kerberos leading to lamboot faliure"

-----------------------------------
Hi,
  I am facing yet another problem. While compilig for lam I did NOT select
any rsh so my rsh was automatically selected to be:
      /usr/kerberos/bin/rsh
  (On RHL-6.2 P-3)
  However in absence of kerberos authentication mechanism commmands like
      /usr/kerberos/bin/rsh arjun2.aero.iitb.ernet.in -n echo $SHELL
yeild following output :
       arjun2.aero.iitb.ernet.in: Connection refused
       Trying krb4 rsh...
       arjun2.aero.iitb.ernet.in: Connection refused
       trying normal rsh (/usr/bin/rsh)
       /bin/sh
  Because the first four lines are printed on stderr lamboot refuses to
boot and recon also fails.
  I tried setting LAMRSH=/usr/bin/rsh and then excute lamboot but Lam
still tried to use the remote agent command "/usr/kerberos/bin/rsh"
to invoke "echo $SHELL" on the remote node.
  I have a dirty trick in mind i.e. to
           cp /usr/bin/rsh /usr/kerberos/bin/rsh (Which I hope should
work)
  But before I do anything of that sort I would like to ask why setting
LAMRSH did not give me any reprive? Also if any elegant solution exists
please let me know.

Thanking you in advance.
