-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora EPEL Update Notification FEDORA-EPEL-2013-10878 2013-07-17 19:00:40 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This update can be installed with the "yum" update programs. Use su -c 'yum update remctl' at the command line. For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum", available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.
