Two reasons: 1. they were part of Sun's original NFS 2. they are only useful if there's a distributed filesystem like NFS in use But if y'all think those are too weak, then that's fine, it can stay out of the NFS package. The question remains - has anyone seen an open source implementation of rpc.rexd?
