Hi FreeBSD-netters

I am debugging a multicast routeing protocol under FreeBSD
and would like to simultaneously start the m/c routing demon
in question on several FreeBSD routers at once. The demon has to run with root
privileges. I would like to do something along the lines
of 

i) logging in to one FreeBSD router (as root)
ii) run a shell script which starts the demon on the local 
router and then issues rsh commands to the other routers
in the test network to start up their routeing demons.

I am however tripping up over rsh permissions etc. I have tried to
set up an /.rhosts on router2 with the line

router1 root


so that router1 can issue a rsh command directed to router2
with root privileges
something like
rsh -l root router2 "run demon command"

but I get permission denied messages each time.
I also tried /etc/hosts.equiv with the same line.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get something like
this working ?

TIA
