summary:

Servers for remote access commands (rsh, rlogin, rcp, rexec)

description:

*** CAUTION : For security reasons, the use of r-commands is completely discouraged. Instead, you should seriously consider use of the ssh related tools. This package is mainly for compatibility. *** DESCRIPTION : The rsh-server package contains a set of programs which allow users to run commmands on remote machines, login to other machines and copy files between machines (rsh, rlogin and rcp). All three of these commands use rhosts style authentication. This package contains the servers needed for all of these services. It also contains a server for rexec, an alternate method of executing remote commands. All of these servers are run by xinetd and configured using /etc/xinetd.d/ (or inetd and /etc/inetd.conf). The supplied xinetd startup scripts are disabled by default.
