I don't know why in.rshd is so large, but you can eliminate it from being
a problem by running remote xterms like this:

csh% rsh server -n "xterm >&/dev/null &"

I wasn't able to get this to work right with ksh for whatever reason.

After starting up the remote xterm, the in.rshd will exit, and stop taking
up swap space.  You could redirect output from the xterm to a file if you
didn't want to lose it.
