NAME
       server - run anonymous command on another machine

SYNOPSIS
       server machine command

DESCRIPTION
       Server  uses  Datakit  to  run command on the named machine.  If it has
       set-uid mode, the owner of server will log in on  the  remote  machine.
       In  this way, a user can execute commands on the remote machine without
       having a login there.

       Server typically accepts only a small set of commands, such as who, ps,
       cat,  and  date;  the  list is at the discretion of the remote machine.
       Server also checks for suspicious argument characters.
