rexd(8C)
Systems Affected:NeXT 2.0 and 2.1.
Problem: By default, rexd(8C) is enabled in NeXTstep versions 2.0 and 2.1. (Note that no NeXT software uses rexd.)

Leaving rexd enabled allows remote users to execute processes on a NeXT computer.

Solution: Comment out or remove the rexd line in /etc/inetd.conf (unless you're using the remote execution facility), and either restart the computer or cause inetd to re-read it's configuration file, using: 
        kill -HUP
