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
syslog(3C) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.
