Cited from Python-doc ( v.2.3 ) [Warning: In Python 2.3 these modules have been disabled due to various known and not readily fixable security holes. The modules are still documented here to help in reading old code that uses the rexec and Bastion modules.]
My question about rexec and bastion may be anachronistic but I did not found much explanation, why rexec and bastion are swiss cheese? It may be helpfull to resume the problems to learn from them. Ciao Kay -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
