\maketitle
\begin{abstract}
\noindent
Python 2.2.2 and earlier provided a
\module
{
rexec
}
module running
untrusted code. However, it's never been exhaustively audited for
security and it hasn't been updated to take into account recent
changes to Python such as new-style classes. Therefore, the
\module
{
rexec
}
module should not be trusted. To discourage use of
\module
{
rexec
}
, this HOWTO has been withdrawn.
The
\module
{
rexec
}
and
\module
{
Bastion
}
modules have been disabled in
the Python CVS tree, both on the trunk (which will eventually become
Python 2.3alpha2 and later 2.3final) and on the release22-maint branch
(which will become Python 2.2.3, if someone ever volunteers to issue
2.2.3).
For discussion of the problems with
\module
{
rexec
}
, see the python-dev
threads starting at the following URLs:
\url

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2002-December/031160.html
}
,
and

}
.
