Remctl is a client/server protocol for executing specific commands on a remote system with kerberos authentication. the allowable commands must be listed in a server configuration file, and the executable run on the server may be mapped to any command name. each command is also associated with an acl containing a list of kerberos principals authorized to run that command.

this package contains the net::remctl perl library, which provides native perl bindings for the libremctl client library. it also contains the net::remctl::backend module, which assists in writing remctl backends in perl.
