.Sh NAME
.Nm rshd
.Nd remote shell server
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Fl aiklnvxPL
.Op Fl p Ar port
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is the server for
the
.Xr rsh 1
program. It provides an authenticated remote command execution
service.  Supported options are:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Xo
.Fl n ,
.Fl Fl no-keepalive
.Xc
Disables keep-alive messages.
Keep-alives are packets sent at certain intervals to make sure that the
client is still there, even when it doesn't send any data.
.It Xo
.Fl k ,
.Fl Fl kerberos
.Xc
Assume that clients connecting to this server will use some form of
Kerberos authentication. See the
.Sx EXAMPLES
section for a sample
.Xr inetd.conf 5
configuration.
.It Xo
.Fl x ,
.Fl Fl encrypt
.Xc
For Kerberos 4 this means that the connections are encrypted. Kerberos
5 can negotiate encryption even without this option, but if it's
present
.Nm
will deny unencrypted connections. This option implies
.Fl k .
.\".It Xo
.\".Fl l ,
.\".Fl Fl no-rhosts
.\".Xc
.\"When using old port-based authentication, the user's
.\".Pa .rhosts
.\"files are normally checked. This option disables this.
.It Xo
.Fl v ,
.Fl Fl vacuous
.Xc
If the connecting client does not use any Kerberised authentication,
print a message that complains about this fact, and exit. This is
helpful if you want to move away from old port-based authentication.
.It Xo
.Fl P
.Xc
When using the AFS filesystem, users' authentication tokens are put in
something called a PAG (Process Authentication Group). Multiple
processes can share a PAG, but normally each login session has its own
PAG. This option disables the
.Fn setpag
call, so all tokens will be put in the default (uid-based) PAG, making
it possible to share tokens between sessions. This is only useful in
peculiar environments, such as some batch systems.
.It Xo
.Fl i ,
.Fl Fl no-inetd
.Xc
The
.Fl i
option will cause
.Nm
to create a socket, instead of assuming that its stdin came from
.Xr inetd 8 .
This is mostly useful for debugging.
.It Xo
.Fl p Ar port ,
.Fl Fl port= Ns Ar port
.Xc
Port to use with
.Fl i .
.It Xo
.Fl a
.Xc
This flag is for backwards compatibility only.
.It Xo
.Fl L
.Xc
This flag enables logging of connections to
.Xr syslogd 8 .
This option is always on in this implementation.
.El
.\".Sh ENVIRONMENT
.Sh FILES
.Bl -tag -width /etc/hosts.equiv -compact
.It Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
.It Pa ~/.rhosts
.El
.Sh EXAMPLES
The following can be used to enable Kerberised rsh in
.Xr inetd.cond 5 ,
while disabling non-Kerberised connections:
.Bd -literal
shell   stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/libexec/rshd  rshd -v
kshell  stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/libexec/rshd  rshd -k
ekshell stream  tcp  nowait  root  /usr/libexec/rshd  rshd -kx

command appeared in

This implementation of

was written as part of the Heimdal Kerberos 5 implementation.
