Or just ship the linux client shell and tell people to get
psexec.exe.  All you have to do is to copy the psexec.exe to the
admin$ share (if not there), copy whatever windows executable you
want to run as well.  Then it's just a process of calling some
svcctl pipe rpc's.  Most of this is done.  Just some grunt work to
put the pieces together.

If you are interested, I can put you on the right track.

The main point this bring up again is the need for an librpc.so
library again.




cheers, jerry
