Winsock REXECD/NT is a Remote Exec Daemon for Windows NT, 2000, XP. It services the standard rexec command.  It runs as a Windows Service and will work only under Windows NT, 2000, XP, and 2003. For a Windows 95/98/ME version, see Winsock REXECD/95.

The rexec command allows you to remotely execute programs on the system running REXECD/NT over a TCP/IP connection from another system.  You can then see the standard output and standard error output of the program executed if it is a Win32 console application (and some DOS applications).

The rexec command is similar to the rsh command, except that rexec requires you to specify a valid password for the remote system.  So Winsock REXECD/NT verifies that the client system has specified a valid Windows user/password before granting access; rsh does not do this.   Also, programs are executed on the Windows system in the security context of the user specified in the rexec command.

Winsock REXECD/NT does not include the rexec command - it is the server side of that command.  Unix, Windows NT, 2000, XP, and 2003 include their own native implementation of the rexec command, but Windows 95/98/ME does not.   If you need an rexec command, check into our Winsock RCP/RSH/REXEC product.
