Secure RPC

Secure RPC style authentication has been added to the first very simple RPC hello world program. This form of authentication provides reasonable security, but requires support from the system administrator in maintaining the "publickey" database.

Sample Procedures

The client stub and the server stub are identical to those created by RPCGEN for the initial hello world program. Below I am only including the client main program and the server procedure since they are the only one's that are different.

Makefile - used to compile and link client and server.

firstmain.c - client main program.

firstsrvr.c - the server procedure that returns "Hello world". The server was generated with the "-DDEBUG" flag turned on during compile, so debugging output goes to the screen.
