SERVER(1) SERVER(1)
NAME
server - run anonymous command on another machine
SYNOPSIS
server machine command
DESCRIPTION
Server uses Datakit to run command on the named machine. If
it has set-uid mode, the owner of server will log in on the
remote machine. In this way, a user can execute commands on
the remote machine without having a login there.
Server typically accepts only a small set of commands, such
as who, ps, cat, and date; the list is at the discretion of
the remote machine. Server also checks for suspicious argu-
ment characters.
