If the stc is doing serious tasks then proper coding is needed to examine the user who sends the command. Can RACF be used to restrict the client exec and port access?

That sounds like an interesting approach, but accepting commands via TCP/IP has some major differences from accepting commands from an operator console. You have a much more restricted set of users who could give you a command when it has to come from an operator console, but anyone could send you a command via TCP/IP.
