  NAME

    rexd - Runs an RPC-based remote execution server

  SYNOPSIS

    /etc/rexd

  DESCRIPTION

    The rexd server is the Sun Remote Procedure Call (RPC) server for remote
    program execution.  For noninteractive programs, standard file descriptors
    are connected directly to Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections.
    Interactive programs involve pseudo-terminals, similar to the login
    sessions provided by rlogin.  This daemon may use the Network File System
    (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.

  DIAGNOSTICS

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