The r* commands (rlogin rsh, rcp) are supposed

"rcmd: socket: permission denied"

You did not mention which version you are using.
I would recommand to get it from the repository
cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot/inetutils login 
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:address@hidden:/webcvs co software/inetutils/ 

See http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/inetutils
