rexd The rpc.rexd program is the server for the on command,
which starts the Remote Execution Facility (REX). The on
command sends a command to be executed on a remote
system. The rpc.rexd program on the remote system
executes the command, simulating the environment of the
user who issued the on command. See Chapter 7,
“Configuring and Using the Remote Execution Facility
(REX),” or see man pages rexd(1M) and on(1). The
following line configures rexd in inetd.conf:
rpc stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/rpc.rexd
100017 1 rpc.rexd
rstatd The rpc.rstatd program answers requests from the rup
command, which collects and displays status information
about the machines on the local network. For more
information, see man pages rstatd(1M) and rup(1). The
following line configures rstatd in inetd.conf:
rpc dgram udp wait root
/usr/lib/netsvc/rstat/rpc.rstatd 100001 1-3 \
rpc.rstatd
rusersd The rpc.rusersd program responds to requests from the
rusers command, which collects and displays information
about all users logged into the machines on the local
network. For more information, see man pages
rusersd(1M) and rusers(1). The following line configures
rusersd in inetd.conf:
rpc dgram udp wait root
/usr/lib/netsvc/rusers/rpc.rusersd 100002 1-2 \
rpc.rusersd
