Remote Code Execution

What might be a complete and accurate definition for the term- 'Remote Code
Execution'?

Thanks!

Yes, I've search the web for a concise definition in a similar fashion and
came up with the same results... Thanks!

RPC is (one of) the first methods evolved to allow for
remote code execution (it stands for Remote Procedure
Call) many, many years ago. It allows a person or process
at one location to connect over the network and cause the
execution of a routine at a distant location (on a remote
machine).

What is hard about getting some from of definition that is
complete and accurate? (You did not say technically
detailed).

...It is hard to view the original post since you have a habit of NOT
posting back to the original thread. Which ofcourse prevents me from seeing
the original thread. Please be kind and post to the thread....

Second, I hope you are not implying that remote code execution always uses
RPCs...because this is not the case...again, I can not see the original
post because you do not reply that way.

You must be having trouble with your chosen newsreader,
as my post was within thread and directed to the original
poster and posting.

There is nothing in my post implying RPC _is_ the required
means for remote execution. In fact it indicates "one of".
Is that so hard to miss?

I used RPC as when Sun first promulgated this, what, in the
mid/later 80's, there were few other accepted means to do
so (outside of IBM network protocols).

No, works great everywhere else...in fact even in this newsgroup only your
posts show up as not being tied to a thread. Your reply this time, to me,
did infact show up in the thread which makes me think that maybe you are
doing something by accident...

The way you wrote your post it sounded like you were implying...

Yup, and I used to program with it...

Nope. I am doing nothing differently, in fact posted both from
the same machine. I did notice some threads elsewhere about
fragmentation issues with 0.9.0 of KNode and some open bugs
up for vote for KDE though.

Could be, although it does not happen anywhere else ( I am quite active in
over 25 newsgroups ). Interesting...

...what was the date of the original article. I am wondering if this happens
because I have a filter of 1 week on "old" articles...

Apparently you have not seen the other post I made in
reply directly to the original (at 2:15 pm) as a test for
your issue ?

I can not view (find) the original post (assuming the original name was
"Remote Code Executing"). If you get a sec, look at his/her header and see
if anything is out of the ordinary...

No, btw I did not see your other post...

Funny, this is the only newgroup where this happends...

It appears posted through the MS newsgroup portal, as are
many others. Strange you did not even see my second reply

What might be a complete and accurate definition for the term- 'Remote Code
Execution'?

I actually did get your other posts (I did not refresh before posting that I
did not see it) My fault....

The only thing that seems different form the average is his client...
