Yes. iptables or hosts.deny.

RSH
Aside from what you already know (RSH bad, Mongo not use! Eat SSH instead.) the better way to secure RSH is to combine hosts.allow and hosts.deny so that only the AUTHORIZED stations can use it and NOTHING else. Deny should be the DEFAULT, and you want to only allow those you must.

Not askin', but sure wondering what would force the issue.
Good luck!
