NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       The   rhosts    PAM   module,   /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1,
14       authenticates a user  via  the  rlogin  authentication  protocol.  Only
15       pam_sm_authenticate() is implemented within this module. pam_sm_authen‐
16       ticate() uses the ruserok(3SOCKET) library function to authenticate the
17       rlogin or rsh user. pam_sm_setcred() is a null function.

20       /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1 is designed to be stacked on top
21       of  the /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1 module for both the rlogin  and
22       rsh  services. This module is normally configured as sufficient so that
23       subsequent   authentication   is   performed   only   on   failure   of
24       pam_sm_authenticate().  The  following  option may be passed in to this
25       service module:
26
27       debug     syslog(3C) debugging information at  LOG_DEBUG level.
