   .SS "Remote command execution"
   The
   \fBsudo\fR
   front end does not have native support for running remote commands.
   However, starting with
   \fBsudo\fR
   1.8.8, the
   \fB\-h\fR
   option may be used to specify a remote host that is passed
   to the policy plugin.
   A plugin may also accept a
   \fIrunas_user\fR
   in the form of
   ``user@hostname''
   which will work with older versions of
   \fBsudo\fR.
   It is anticipated that remote commands will be supported by executing a
   ``helper''
   program.
   The policy plugin should setup the execution environment such that the
   \fBsudo\fR
   front end will run the helper which, in turn, will connect to the
   remote host and run the command.
   .PP
   For example, the policy plugin could utilize
   \fBssh\fR
   to perform remote command execution.
   The helper program would be responsible for running
   \fBssh\fR
   with the proper options to use a private key or certificate
   that the remote host will accept and run a program
   on the remote host that would setup the execution environment
   accordingly.
   .PP
   Note that remote
   \fBsudoedit\fR
   functionality must be handled by the policy plugin, not
   \fBsudo\fR
   itself as the front end has no knowledge that a remote command is
   being executed.
   This may be addressed in a future revision of the plugin API.
