-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-\module{rexec}, this HOWTO has been withdrawn.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
