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 pecl remctl module for php 5, which provides native php bindings for the libremctl client library.
