NAME

       pawserv - CERNLIB program for serving PAW histograms remotely

DESCRIPTION

       pawserv  is  the  server for distributed PAW.  It listens for connections on port 345.  pawserv is not in
       general run from the command line, but only via inetd(8).  From the PAW client side, a remote PAW session
       is invoked with the RLOGIN hostname command.  Distributed PAW is documented fully in chapter 8 of the PAW
       user's guide, available in PostScript format at this URL:

       http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asdoc/psdir/paw.ps.gz

       Please note that pawserv receives unencrypted passwords over the network.  It should  therefore  be  used
       only within a trusted LAN.

FILES
