- I have machines set up which use a different authorization method
- (as indicated in the "default" stanza in the file /etc/security/user);
- but the rexecd daemon seems to ignore it, and tries to authenticate
- using the passwd file. This is a serious probelem, since the X server
- software which runs on PCs needs to use rexec initailly to start a client.
- Does anyone have any experience with this?
