I'm pleased to announce release 2.9 of remctl. I found an annoying bug in
remctl 2.8 in internal testing and decided I may as well clean up a few
other issues and put out another quick release.
remctl is a client/server application that supports remote execution of
specific commands, using Kerberos v5 GSS-API for authentication.
Authorization is controlled by a configuration file and ACL files and can
be set separately for each command, unlike with rsh. remctl is like a
Kerberos-authenticated simple CGI server, or a combination of Kerberos rsh
and sudo without most of the features and complexity of either.
Changes from previous release:
Fix remctl client library crashes due to an uninitialized variable
when the network connection fails.
Added complete C API documentation (as section 3 manual pages) for the
libremctl library.
Fix several inaccuracies in the Net::Remctl API documentation.
Thanks, Alf Wachsmann.
Pass DESTDIR to the Perl module installation as well. Thanks, Darren
Patterson.
You can download it from:

Debian packages have been uploaded to Debian unstable, but are still
awaiting NEW processing and therefore may not be available for a couple of
weeks.
Please let me know of any problems or feature requests not already listed
in the TODO file.
