MICNET(M) XENIX System V MICNET(M)
Name
micnet - The Micnet default commands file.
Description
The micnet file lists the system commands that may be
executed through the remote command. The file is required
for each system in a Micnet network. Whenever a remote
command is received through the network, the Micnet programs
search the micnet file for the system command specified with
the remote command. If found, the command is executed.
Otherwise, the command is ignored and an error message is
returned to the system which issued the remote command.
The file may contain one or more lines. If all commands may
be executed, only the line
executeall
is required in the file. Otherwise, the commands must be
listed individually. A line that defines an individual
command has the form:
command=commandpath
Command is the command name to be specified in a remote
command. Commandpath is the full pathname of the command on
the specified system. The equal sign (=) separates the
command and commandpath. For example, the line:
cat=/bin/cat
defines the command name cat (used in the remote command) to
refer to the system command cat in the /bin directory.
When executeall is set, commands are sought in a series of
default directories. Initially, the directories are /bin
and /usr/bin. The default directories can be explicitly
defined in the file by including a line of the form:
execpath=PATH=directory[:directory]...

The first part of the line, execpath=PATH=, is required.
Each directory must be a valid pathname. The colon is
required to separate directories. For example, the line:
execpath=PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/bobf/bin
sets the default directories to /bin, /usr/bin, and
/usr/bobf/bin.
Files

Notes
The rcp command cannot be executed from a remote system
unless the micnet file contains either executeall, or the
line
rcp=/usr/bin/rcp
