Use 'yum provides' to find the package that contains the file you want removed.
Then use 'yum remove' to remove the package.

man yum

man yum
I get "/usr/bin/rlogin" but there is not such file or directory.

What does that mean?

Why are you asking how to remove something that isn't there?

I'm asking how to remove rsh rlogin because I have a rlogin prompt on port 514 that I can't disable...you can't log in but I still want it removed.

Did you try 'yum remove rsh-server' ?

I can't remember if I tried rsh-server or not. I'm at work right now so I'll try when I get home in the a.m.

Nothing, I'm lost at where its coming from since everything I read about it leads to a dead end. Rhel7's manual just says to remove it without any more detail.

What do you mean "Nothing" ?
Please be specific about what your real problem is.
You have yet to give a clear description of your problem.

I'm not sure how I'm not being clear...Yum remove either finds the file and removes it or finds no match and does nothing and I already mentioned that I have a rlogin prompt on a port that I can't find and disable.

I don't understand why this forum is so hostile...I asked for people to be patient with me since I wasn't brought up with Unix or Unix-like systems.
