Disable rsh on mate side

Hi All,

I am facing problem with rsh.I tried to disable rsh on mate(inactive) side through svcadm(by disabling rlogin service).
Now if i try to rsh to mate side from active(rsh mate-le0) its now working as expected,but if i try rsh mate-leo hostname or for that matter any command then its working fine.
How is this possible?Also please let me know if it possible for me to run rsh for 10 secs only similar to ping command?

Thanks in advance
