>Description:
I run rexec from another machine to fire off an xterm on my screen.
When I do this the xterm runs but my login id is not current.
it comes up as root instead of me(the one who rexed'd in)
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
add the below line to rexecd/rexec.c similar to how it's done in rshd.
if (*pwd->pw_shell == '\0')
pwd->pw_shell = _PATH_BSHELL;
if (f > 2)
(void) close(f);
--> setlogin(pwd->pw_name);
(void) setgid((gid_t)pwd->pw_gid);
initgroups(pwd->pw_name, pwd->pw_gid);
(void) setuid((uid_t)pwd->pw_uid);
(void)strcat(path, _PATH_DEFPATH);
