From 5902385a2440a55f005b266c93e0bb9398e5a62b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ying Xue Date: Thu, 27 Mar 2014 12:54:31 +0800 Subject: tipc: obsolete the remote management feature Due to the lacking of any credential, it's allowed to accept commands requested from remote nodes to query the local node status, which is prone to involve potential security risks. Instead, if we login to a remote node with ssh command, this approach is not only more safe than the remote management feature, but also it can give us more permissions like changing the remote node configuration. So it's reasonable for us to obsolete the remote management feature now. Signed-off-by: Ying Xue Reviewed-by: Erik Hugne Signed-off-by: David S.
