  • Patent number: 5671414
    Abstract: A set of secure remote procedure calls are implemented in a network using the terms of the native communications protocol of the local and remote computers. The remote procedure calls allow a system administrator working from a client computer to directly interact and to manage the network operating system. One or more remote procedure calls are incorporated into the network client computer operating system and corresponding remote procedure calls are incorporated into the server computer operating system. As a result, developers may develop client software with the ability to load, unload or otherwise configure remote server applications using a network client computer to instruct the server computer operating system that supports the calls.
