There is rexec, rlogin and rsh.  In a previous work environment these 
were officially discouraged due to security considerations (though I 
think we used it at one point for an X11 package which ran on Windows 
which connected to VMS systems).

"Limitations

As described in the rlogin article, the rsh protocol is not secure for 
network use, because it sends unencrypted information over the network, 
among other reasons. Some implementations also authenticate by sending 
unencrypted passwords over the network. rsh has largely been replaced 
with the secure shell (ssh) program, even on local networks."
