REXD(8C)                COMMAND REFERENCE                REXD(8C)



NAME
     rexd, rpc.rexd - RPC-based remote execution server

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/etc/rpc.rexd

DESCRIPTION
     The program rexd is the RPC (Remote Procedure Call) server
     for remote program execution; this daemon is started by
     inetd(8n) whenever a remote execution request is made if the
     following line is placed in /etc/inetd.conf:

          rpc  tcp  /usr/etc/rpc.rexd 100017 1

     For noninteractive programs, standard file descriptors are
     connected directly to TCP (Transport Control Protocol)
     connections.  Interactive programs involve pseudo-terminals,
     similar to the login sessions provided by rlogin(1n).  This
     daemon may use the NFS to mount file systems specified in
     the remote execution request; (rexd is the server for
     on(1c).

FILES
     /dev/ttypn          (where n is the tty number) pseudo-
                         terminals used for interactive mode

     /etc/passwd         authorized users

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

SEE ALSO
     on(1c), rex(3r), exports(5), inetd.conf(5n), and inetd(8n).
