pam_rhosts_auth - authentication management PAM module using ruserok()
pam_rhosts_auth.so.1
The rhosts PAM module, pam_rhosts_auth.so.1, authenticates a user via the rlogin authentication protocol. Only pam_sm_authenticate(3PAM) is implemented within this module. pam_sm_authenticate() uses the ruserok(3SOCKET) library function to authenticate the rlogin or rsh user. pam_sm_setcred(3PAM) is a null function.
pam_rhosts_auth.so.1 is designed to be stacked on top of the pam_unix.so.1 module for both the rlogin and rsh services. This module is normally configured as sufficient so that subsequent authentication is performed only on failure of pam_sm_authenticate(). The following option may be passed in to this service module:
debug
