That's - IMHO - not correct, since I naturally had installed that and saying "rexec" left me with a "bash: rexec: command not found" (while "rsh" and "rlogin" evoce responses). A package-content search on the debian page for "rexec" only comes up with one "/etc/pam.d/rexec" that doesn't seem to be what I want (or is it?). > However, if it all possible, try to use ssh instead of rexec and rsh. > The changes to the software to do this would be minimal, and the > security improvement is well worth the effort, IMHO.
