Sure. You started inetd from LocalSystem account. A non interactive rsh 
has no chance to change user context since no password is given. So the
started subshell is running under LocalSystem account either.
Unfortunately, LocalSysterm has absolutely and unchangable _no_ chance
to create an outgoing network access.
