WARNINGS
There is no way to specify options to the socket() call that rexec()
makes.
A program using rexec() should not be put in the background when
rexec() is expected to prompt for a password or user name. Putting
rexec() in the background will cause it to compete with the current
shell process for input.
Since rexec() replaces the pointer to the host name (*ahost) with a
pointer to the standard name of the host in a static data area, this
value must be copied into the user's data area if it is to be used
later.
The password is sent unencrypted through the socket connection.
