The rwhod daemon is not compiled if MK_RCMDS != "no". Looking at
/usr/src/usr.sbin/Makefile:
.if ${MK_RCMDS} != "no"
SUBDIR+= rwhod
.endif
So the real argument ought to be if rwhod/ruptime ought to be part of a
different MK_xxx, rather than grouped into MK_RCMDS, along with
rcp, rsh, rshd, rlogin, and rlogind.
