Gentoo has discontinued support for rssh. We recommend that users unmerge rssh:
# emerge --unmerge "app-shells/rssh"
NOTE: The Gentoo developer(s) maintaining rssh have discontinued support at this time. It may be possible that a new Gentoo developer will update rssh at a later date. OpenSSH (net-misc/openssh) may be able to provide similar functionality using its extensive configuration.
