If you switch to SSH, you can solve this by putting this into your 
~/.ssh/config file:

      Host myremotehost
          User duncan_roe

That is, you can override defaults (like login name) on a per-connection 
basis.  Anything you can pass as an option to ssh(1) can be changed 
here, so you don't have to keep providing the option.

With pre-shared keys, I don't think you'll see a difference in behavior 
relative to rsh.
