Are you *sure* that you had /anonymous in the folder collection?  rsh 
access is supposed to be disabled when /anonymous is used.  If it still 
tried rsh in spite of /anonymous, this is a bug (and please report it to 
pine-bugs).

The ":143" *is* the option to disable rsh!  Yeah, I know, we need a 
somewhat more intuitive interface...  ;-)
