.SH DESCRIPTION
The RFA client (\fBrfa\fP) provides an interactive mode and a command mode.
.LP
The name of the host (as defined in the
\fBisoentities\fP database) where the
remote site is located can be specified using the
\fB-h\fP option. Because the RFA client
binds to the remote RFA server with a username that must be valid at the
remote site, the \fB-u\fP and
\fB-p\fP options can be used to specify the
username and the password for the remote site. The
\fB-q\fP option directs
\fBrfa\fP to run in quit-mode, where only
severe errors are reported and no user interaction is performed. Using
the \fB-c\fP option, a command can be
passed to rfa in command mode. This can be any command described
below.
.LP
If the rfa is called without the
\fB-c\fP option, is runs in interactive
mode. The \fBrfa\fP provides the following
commands. A command can be abbreviated with its unambiguous
prefix.
.sp
If the \fIchown\fR, \fIchgrp\fR and \fIchmod\fR options in the rfatailor
file are set to \fIon\fR, rfa should run under the effective uid of
root, otherwise it will not be able to change permissions of files.
