RSHD(ADMN)                                 UNIX System V



     Name
          rshd - remote shell server


     Syntax
          /etc/rshd


     Description
          rshd is the network server for programs such as rcmd(TC) and
          rcp(TC)  which  need  to  execute  a noninteractive shell on
          remote machines.  rshd is started by the superserver  inetd,
          and  therefore  must  have an entry in inetd's configuration
          file     /etc/inetd.conf.      [See     inetd(ADMN)      and
          inetd.conf(SFF)].

          rshd  enforces  an   authentication   procedure   based   on
          equivalence of user names (see rhosts(SFF)).  This procedure
          assumes all nodes on the network are equally secure.
