Step-1: Compile the code
				# make

Step-2: Populate the sample file with username, password and allowed commands
				separated by comma
				Example: 
						username1,password2,command1,command2,command3
						username2,password2,command1,command2
						username3,password3
						
Step-2: Execute the code
		=> Initiate the functionality as Server (Executor). On terminal execute 
				the below command:
			
			# ./server -f <config_filename>

		=> Initiate the functionality as Client (Requester). On another terminal
				execute the below command:
			
			# ./client --server <server ip> --user <username> --password <password> 
								 --exec <program to execute>

	Note: Kill the server use "Ctrl+C" and then only close the terminal.
			
Step 3: Cleaning the executables and output files.
				# make clean

=> For --exec option : having spaced commands (ex. "ls -la") use quotes to 
	enclose the them.

=> User cannot execute Super User (Sudo) commands

=> All the valid command for a user can have multiple options

=> Config File will have the entry in the following manner:
		username1,password1,command11,command12,.......
		username2,password2,command21,command22,.......

=> Maximum Buffer size and command length can be changed using the global 
	 variable MAXLEN (in global.h)
