  Modified:    lib/libcompat/4.3 rexec.3 rexec.c
  Log:
  The implementation of rexec() missed the function ruserpass(), so the
  link stage fell over for any program that attempted to use rexec().
  
  Ruserpass() remains undocumented; i could not find any documentation
  for it on other systems.
  
  Also added a BUGS section to the man page, stating that this function
  constitutes a potential security hole (as well as the underlying
  "exec" service).
