NAME
pam_rhosts_auth - authentication management PAM module using
ruserok()
SYNOPSIS
pam_rhosts_auth.so.1DESCRIPTION
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.
