-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2014-0482 2014-02-08 19:20:50 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : remctl Product : Fedora EPEL 6 Version : 3.8 Release : 2.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.
