I don't know how to do it in csh, but the method that works for (k)sh is:

#! /bin/sh
exec 3<&0 < /usr/local/lib/ctrsuns
while read test
do
echo $test
rsh $test -n "$1"
done
exec 0<&3 3<&-

This gives the error missing name for redirect.  You might
be able to fool around with it and get it working...
