No, because rc "lacks" features unix users are used to, such as command history. The reason rc does not have this sort of thing is because it's unnecessary thanks to rio. Without rio, rc is not a useful interactive shell. Without using rc interactively, why bother using it instead of perl or python? It's just another programming language at that point.

sshserve(1) (see ssh1(1)) for sshv1, and sshsession(1) (see ssh2(1)) for sshv2.
