Managers,
Thanks to Richard L Jackson Jr <rjackson_at_gmu.edu> for his quick response.
My question was:

"Pre-Installation

Richard provided the answer:
This is a 'feature' of the patch kit.  One of the dupatch scripts adds
/sbin/Rsh
to OSFBASE350.inv -- sneaky little bugger.  Anyways, the workaround is to
install patch 117.00 via tar and then have dupatch mark the patch as
already
installed.  I reported this problem to Digital 4/9/97.  My notes follow 
and may be slightly different from your environment...
. shutdown now
. /sbin/bcheckrc
. /sbin/update
. /sbin/swapon -a
FIX /sbin/sh, /sbin/Rsh PROBLEM:
. cp /usr/local/adm/patch/C970122-77/970408/patch_kit/kit/OSFPAT00011700375
                        /tmp/o.tar.Z
. cd /tmp
. uncompress o.tar.Z
. cd /
. tar xf /tmp/o.tar     (update /sbin/sh, /sbin/Rsh, /usr/bin/sh,
/usr/bin/Rsh)
. cd /usr/local/adm/patch/C970122-77/970408/patch_kit
. ./dupatch                                     (DUV32GAS00001-19970328)
. 5                                     (Patch Baseline
Analysis/adjustment)
. y                                             (proceed?)
. /usr/local/adm/patch/C970122-77/970408/patch_kit      (path)
. y                                     (mark V3.2G Patch 0117.00 as
installed)
  MARKED AS INSTALLED:
 OSFPAT00011700375      V3.2G Patch 0117.00 - sh and rsh Command
Corrections
. n                             (don't enable libsecurity.so patch install)
. q                                     (quit)
. sync
. reboot
Also thanks to Brian O'Connor b.oconnor_at_latrobe.edu.au for pointing out my
typo in the size of /sbin/sh:
> -rwxr-xr-x    1 bin       bin      2293376 Jul 24 1995 sh
should have been
> -rwxr-xr-x    1 bin       bin       229376 Jul 24 1995 sh
