Hi,
With respect to the rexec() function: From 'man 3 rexec' on a
-current system I find:
SYNOPSIS
int
rexec(char **ahost, int inport, char *user, char *passwd, char *cmd,
int *fd2p)
DESCRIPTION
This interface is obsoleted by rcmd(3). It is available from the compat-
ibility library, libcompat.
However, I don't see how rcmd() can be used to replace rexec()
since rcmd() is a root/rresvport mechanism, as where rexec() is
a .netrc mechanism.
In looking at the rcmd() src, I don't see where any rexec()
functionality has been added (/usr/src/lib/libc/net/rcmd.c).
Could someone with information on how these functions relate
to each other point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
John
