We are using a Server with OS RHEL 7.2 server version. Number of rsh connections to the system is limited to a number around 70. We are getting a message Connection reset by peer from server as that number gets exhausted.

I want to increase number of rsh connections to my system.

NOTE: I understand the fact that it is not advised to use rsh and it is better to switch to ssh for operations. But such change is beyond my control. So any help regarding RSH connections will be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

The configuration parameter instances of defaults { } in /etc/xinetd.conf sets this globally (extended Internet daemon wide). There's no such setting for the individual service configured in /etc/xinetd.d/rsh.

Still, it's not secure to use rsh, and the best recommendation is to disable it with disable = yes and use SSH instead. We are not in the early 90s anymore.
