REXD(NADM)                                     UNIX System V



     Name
          rexd - RPC-based remote execution server


     Syntax
          /etc/rexd


     Description
          rexd is the RPC server for remote  program  execution.   For
          non-interactive   programs  standard  file  descriptors  are
          connected directly to TCP connections.  Interactive programs
          involve  pseudo-terminals,  similar  to  the  login sessions
          provided by rlogin(C).  This daemon may  use  NFS  to  mount
          file systems specified in the remote execution request.


     Files
          /dev/ttypn          pseudo-terminals  used  for  interactive
                              mode

          /etc/passwd         authorized users

          /tmp/rexd.log       if it exists, logs errors and events


     See Also
          mount(NADM), on(NC), rex(NS), exports(NF)


     Diagnostics
          Diagnostic messages are normally printed on the console, and
          returned to the requester.


     Notes
          Should be better access control.
