Security considerations for using REXEC server

These topics discuss methods for securing the Remote EXECution (REXEC) server for authorized users and preventing access to the REXEC server.

The Remote EXECution server (REXEC) receives and runs commands from an REXEC client. A REXEC client is typically a PC or UNIX application that supports sending REXEC commands. The support that this server provides is similar to the capability that is available when you use the Remote Command (RCMD) sub-command for the FTP server.
