rpc.cmsd

The rpc.cmsd is a calender/appointment scheduler service. It is enabled by default on Sun Solaris machines. It can be accessed through the "Calendar Manager" on the older Openwindows environment, or through the "Calender" program in the newer CDE environment.

A buffer overflow exploit in this service was responsible for widespread web-site defacements and DDoS attacks during the later part of 1999 and early 2000.
