 Name

    rexd - RPC-based remote execution server

 Syntax

    /etc/rexd

 Description

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

 Files


    /dev/ttypn          pseudo-terminals used for interactive mode

    /etc/passwd         authorized users

    the requester.
