10 Description: `user services' - program call across trust boundaries
11 userv allows one program to invoke another when only limited trust
12 exists between them. It is a tool which can be used to avoid having
13 to give other system services root privilege, and which allows users
14 to more securely have programs provide services to others.
16 userv can be useful as `glue' for system administrators; there are
17 not many full-blown userv-using applications yet.
