How To Install remctl on Fedora 36
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install remctl on Fedora 36.
What is remctl
remctl (the client) and remctld (the server) implement a client/server protocol for running single commands on a remote host using Kerberos v5 authentication and returning the output. They use a very simple GSS-API-authenticated network protocol, combined with server-side ACL support and a server configuration file that maps remctl commands to programs that should be run when that command is called by an authorised user.
