Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rcmd
|
|
function
|
|
is used by the super-user to execute a command on
|
|
a remote machine using an authentication scheme based
|
|
on reserved port numbers.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rresvport
|
|
function
|
|
returns a descriptor to a socket
|
|
with an address in the privileged port space.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ruserok
|
|
function
|
|
is used by servers
|
|
to authenticate clients requesting service with
|
|
.Fn rcmd .
|
|
All three functions are present in the same file and are used
|
|
by the
|
|
.Xr rshd 8
|
|
server (among others).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rcmd
|
|
function
|
|
looks up the host
|
|
.Fa *ahost
|
|
using
|
|
.Xr gethostbyname 3 ,
|
|
returning -1 if the host does not exist.
|
|
Otherwise
|
|
.Fa *ahost
|
|
is set to the standard name of the host
|
|
and a connection is established to a server
|
|
residing at the well-known Internet port
|
|
.Fa inport .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the connection succeeds,
|
|
a socket in the Internet domain of type
|
|
.Dv SOCK_STREAM
|
|
is returned to the caller, and given to the remote
|
|
command as
|
|
.Dv stdin
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv stdout .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa fd2p
|
|
is non-zero, then an auxiliary channel to a control
|
|
process will be set up, and a descriptor for it will be placed
|
|
in
|
|
.Fa *fd2p .
|
|
The control process will return diagnostic
|
|
output from the command (unit 2) on this channel, and will also
|
|
accept bytes on this channel as being
|
|
.Ux
|
|
signal numbers, to be
|
|
forwarded to the process group of the command.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa fd2p
|
|
is 0, then the
|
|
.Dv stderr
|
|
(unit 2 of the remote
|
|
command) will be made the same as the
|
|
.Dv stdout
|
|
and no
|
|
provision is made for sending arbitrary signals to the remote process,
|
|
although you may be able to get its attention by using out-of-band data.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The protocol is described in detail in
|
|
.Xr rshd 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rresvport
|
|
function is used to obtain a socket to which an address with a Privileged
|
|
Internet port is bound.
|
|
This socket is suitable for use by
|
|
.Fn rcmd
|
|
and several other functions.
|
|
Privileged Internet ports are those in the range 0 to 1023.
|
|
Only the super-user is allowed to bind an address of this sort
|
|
to a socket.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn iruserok
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn ruserok
|
|
functions take a remote host's IP address or name, as returned by the
|
|
.Xr gethostbyname 3
|
|
routines, two user names and a flag indicating whether the local user's
|
|
name is that of the super-user.
|
|
Then, if the user is
|
|
.Em NOT
|
|
the super-user, it checks the
|
|
.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
|
|
file.
|
|
If that lookup is not done, or is unsuccessful, the
|
|
.Pa .rhosts
|
|
in the local user's home directory is checked to see if the request for
|
|
service is allowed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If this file does not exist, is not a regular file, is owned by anyone
|
|
other than the user or the super-user, or is writable by anyone other
|
|
than the owner, the check automatically fails.
|
|
Zero is returned if the machine name is listed in the
|
|
.Dq Pa hosts.equiv
|
|
file, or the host and remote user name are found in the
|
|
.Dq Pa .rhosts
|
|
file; otherwise
|
|
.Fn iruserok
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn ruserok
|
|
return -1.
|
|
If the local domain (as obtained from
|
|
.Xr gethostname 3 )
|
|
is the same as the remote domain, only the machine name need be specified.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn iruserok
|
|
function is strongly preferred for security reasons.
|
|
It requires trusting the local DNS at most, while the
|
|
.Fn ruserok
|
|
function requires trusting the entire DNS, which can be spoofed.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The functions with an
|
|
.Dq Li _af
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq Li _sa
|
|
suffix, i.e.,
|
|
.Fn rcmd_af ,
|
|
.Fn rresvport_af
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn iruserok_sa ,
|
|
work the same as the corresponding functions without a
|
|
suffix, except that they are capable of handling both IPv6 and IPv4 ports.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq Li _af
|
|
suffix means that the function has an additional
|
|
.Fa af
|
|
argument which is used to specify the address family,
|
|
(see below).
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa af
|
|
argument extension is implemented for functions
|
|
that have no binary address argument.
|
|
Instead, the
|
|
.Fa af
|
|
argument specifies which address family is desired.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Dq Li _sa
|
|
suffix means that the function has general socket address and
|
|
length arguments.
|
|
As the socket address is a protocol independent data structure,
|
|
IPv4 and IPv6 socket address can be passed as desired.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa sa
|
|
argument extension is implemented for functions
|
|
that pass a protocol dependent binary address argument.
|
|
The argument needs to be replaced with a more general address structure
|
|
to support multiple address families in a general way.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The functions with neither an
|
|
.Dq Li _af
|
|
suffix nor an
|
|
.Dq Li _sa
|
|
suffix work for IPv4 only, except for
|
|
.Fn ruserok
|
|
which can handle both IPv6 and IPv4.
|
|
To switch the address family, the
|
|
.Fa af
|
|
argument must be filled with
|
|
.Dv AF_INET ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv AF_INET6 .
|
|
For
|
|
.Fn rcmd_af ,
|
|
.Dv PF_UNSPEC
|
|
is also allowed.

.Sh DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rcmd
|
|
function
|
|
returns a valid socket descriptor on success.
|
|
It returns -1 on error and prints a diagnostic message
|
|
on the standard error.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rresvport
|
|
function
|
|
returns a valid, bound socket descriptor on success.
|
|
It returns -1 on error with the global value
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
set according to the reason for failure.
|
|
The error code
|
|
.Er EAGAIN
|
|
is overloaded to mean ``All network ports in use.''
