Remote Procedure Calls

The RPC for the Admin system will be based on ONC RPC. ONC RPC is used because it is a well-known, portable RPC mechanism. The underlying external data representation (xdr) mechanisms for wire encapsulation are well-known and extensible. Authentication to the admin server and encryption of all RPC functional arguments and results are be handled via the AUTH_GSSAPI authentication flavor of ONC RPC.
