[ale] rsh with Kerberos

I've been using ssh for everything remote. Lately, I've been using a
PII300 laptop with a scsi card and tape drive to do a remote dump of a
server I manage. The ssh overhead on this process is horrendous. On a
much faster machine I can max out at the tape speed of 3MB/sec. But the
laptop maxes at 2MB/sec. This 1/3 reduction is severe on a 12-15GB dump!

So I looked at rsh since this is done on a closed network and I'm
connecting to my laptop. rsh man page (RedHat 7.3) says it now uses
Kerberos5 authentication. When did this happen?! Are there docs for
setting up Kerberos that _don't_ require a PhD in computer science to
follow?

Is there a "none" option for Openssh encryption? The man page doesn't
list that as an option.
