NAME

rexd − RPC-based remote execution server

SYNOPSIS

/etc/rexd

DESCRIPTION

The rexd daemon is the Sun RPC server for remote program execution.  For noninteractive programs, standard file descriptors are connected directly to TCP connections.  Interactive programs involve pseudo-terminals, similar to the login sessions provided by rlogin(1). This daemon may use the 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(1M), on(1), rex(3), exports(4). 

DIAGNOSTICS

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

BUGS

Should be better access control.
