/etc/passwd file. *n requests that the system use the incoming numeric user
ID (104) transparently if an entry is found in /etc/passwd with the same
number.
The parameters to the shell are -Xsh:-c:%p. %p is translated by the server
as any parameter sent in the dialstring from the local host, reparsed, so that if
it contains colons, separate arguments will be generated. The server will
then fork and exec a copy of the program supplied in the program field with
the parameters supplied in the Initial Parms field to handle this call. If the
remote host’s password file does not contan a valid entry for user 104, the
call is rejected with an access denied error code.
