Author unknown error in messages file - solaris 2.8 sparc

Here are the only entries from yesterday's message log on our Sun Fire
V880:

Jan 10 13:10:45 gandalf rsh[8837]: [ID 365563 daemon.error] can't get
stderr port: Cannot assign requested address
Jan 10 13:11:20 gandalf rsh[15280]: [ID 365563 daemon.error] can't get

Jan 10 13:12:36 gandalf rsh[2021]: [ID 365563 daemon.error] can't get
stderr port: Cannot assign requested address

I cannot find any other reference to this particular message on google
groups. As far as I can tell we have no processes that try to perform
an rsh at that time. No one but myself and one other has access to
this machine, I am now worried that a password has been compromised.
Question 1: how do I tell if the rsh was initiated from this machine or
is an incoming rsh request? Does gandalf rsh mean it was initiated from
gandalf (the host where this messages file comes from)? If so that's
weird.
Question 2: Is there any way to output any more info from rsh, i.e. the
terminal where the command was run from /process name rather than just
pid which now obviously doesn't exist.

Thanks in advance,

jon

I don't know, but I googled for this:

stderr port: Cannot assign requested address

and found this link that you might find useful:

You might take a look at the man pages for acctsh and acct. They will
tell you how to enable process accounting.
