Name        : remctl
Product     : Fedora EPEL 6
Version     : 3.5
Release     : 1.el6
URL         : http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/remctl
Summary     : Client/server for Kerberos-authenticated command execution
Description :

remctl (the client) and remctld (the server) implement a client/server
protocol for running single commands on a remote host using Kerberos
v5 authentication and returning the output. They use a very simple
GSS-API-authenticated network protocol, combined with server-side ACL
support and a server configuration file that maps remctl commands to
programs that should be run when that command is called by an
authorised user.

Update Information:

Notable items, taken from the [upstream changelog](http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/remctl/news.html):

* The Perl bindings now include a new module, Net::Remctl::Backend, which handles the setup, dispatch, and help output for the recommended style for remctl backend scripts written in Perl.
* Fix a race condition in remctld that could truncate large backend output if the backend program exits immediately after sending that output.
* The version numbers of the Net::Remctl and Net::Remctl::Backend Perl modules now match the versions of the remctl package.
