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.

Update Information:
Update to the latest upstream release (v3.8). This update fixes a client memory leak and

The Fedora packaging also includes the following changes:
* This update ships each of the README documentation files for the PHP, Python, and Ruby
libraries.
* This update links against libpcre for PCRE support.
