Fedora EPEL Update Notification

2013-07-17 19:01:18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : remctl
Product : Fedora EPEL 5
Version : 3.5
Release : 1.el5
URL :
http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/remctl
Summary : Client/server for Kerberos-authenticated command execution
Description :
remctl (the client) and remctld (the server) implement a client/server
protocol for running single commands on a remote host using Kerberos
v5 authentication and returning the output. They use a very simple
GSS-API-authenticated network protocol, combined with server-side ACL
support and a server configuration file that maps remctl commands to
programs that should be run when that command is called by an
authorised user.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
Notable items, taken from the [upstream
changelog](http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/software/remctl/news.html):
* The Perl bindings now include a new module, Net::Remctl::Backend, which handles the
setup, dispatch, and help output for the recommended style for remctl backend scripts
written in Perl.
* Fix a race condition in remctld that could truncate large backend output if the backend
program exits immediately after sending that output.
* The version numbers of the Net::Remctl and Net::Remctl::Backend Perl modules now match
the versions of the remctl package.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
