NAME¶

mrshd — munge authenticated remote shell server

SYNOPSIS¶

DESCRIPTION¶

The mrshd server is the server for the mrsh(1) program. It is a modification of the rshd server and uses munge authentication rather than reserved ports for security.

The mrshd server listens for service requests at the port indicated in the ``mshell'' service specification; see services(5). If no ``mshell'' service specification exits, it falls back to port 21212/tcp.

Transport-level keepalive messages are enabled unless the -n option is present. The use of keepalive messages allows sessions to be timed out if the client crashes or becomes unreachable.

The -L option causes all successful accesses to be logged to syslogd(8) as auth.info messages and all failed accesses to be logged as auth.notice.

The -M option allows an alternate munge unix domain path to be specified.

The -V option outputs the package and protocol version.

DIAGNOSTICS¶

All errors are logged via the syslog (3) library. Administrators should check the log files for details regarding errors. Error messages send to the user are intentionally ambiguous, so that details about state information cannot be interpreted.
