You talk about the /usr/lib/afbackup/rexec directory? According to
this entry in the HOWTO... file:
...
This starts an incremental backup on the supplied host. Each program
on the remote host lying in the directory configured as
Program-Directory in the configuration file of the serverside
installation part of the remote host (default:
$BASEDIR/server/rexec) can be started, but no other. The entries may
be symlinks, but they must have the same filename like the programs,
they point to.
...
I would assume that these files should be part of afbackup (server
part). But there are bundled in the afbackup-client package. Do you
report this as a bug or should I?

Fortunately, I used afbackup quite some time before the debian package
appeared. So I knew all its information before using the debian
package. I assume some the information are available as manual pages.
But I would like to see this file in the package too.

BTW: Waiting for the current 3.1.1 to be packaged ;-)
