Preface
The Oracle Solaris operating system can be administered or configured remotely. Applications that
allow you to remotely administer or configure a system, require programmatic access. This
guide provides information on how to use the remote administration daemon to provide
programmatic access to the administration and configuration functionality of the Oracle Solaris OS.
