Unix Authentification

Unix-Style Authentication

Unix style authentication has been added to the first very simple RPC hello world program. Remember that this form of RPC authentication is very weak and easily spoofed, but it does provide a means for at least passing as data who the caller is.

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.
