http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/man.cgi says it's in every version of
SunOS, Ultrix, and Dec OSF/1 it lists.

http://www.docs.hp.com/cgi-bin/otsearch/getfile?top=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90128/B2355-90128_top.html&id=/hpux/onlinedocs/B2355-90128/00/02/283-con.html&searchterms=rsh
says that remsh takes the -n flag in HP/UX 10 (and up, presumably).

I'd say it's probably safe... alternately, perhaps you could
redirect stdin to /dev/null yourself...
