It's a service used by several applications, e.g., IACC and FoxCTS to move files. In some ways, it replaced the rsh/rexec/rcp services under Solaris. The security guys haven't complained about it, but I'm not an expert.

Is this a required package for the normal operation of the AW? Who uses it? Any parameters/arguments are passed to it? I am almost sure this is a service/task to allow/enable some transfer services, and I am wondering is this could cause some breach in security (Cyber Security) and, if so, if is can be hardened or removed.
