pam_rhosts_auth(5)

NAME
     pam_rhosts_auth - authentication management PAM modules using ruserok()

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so

DESCRIPTION
     The  rhosts PAM module, /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so, authenticates
     a user via the rlogin authentication protocol.  Only  pam_sm_authenticate()
     is   implemented   within  this  module.   pam_sm_authenticate()  uses  the
     ruserok(3)  library  funtion  to  authenticate  the  rlogin  or  rsh  user.
     pam_sm_setcred() is a null function.

     /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so  is  designed  to be stacked on top of
     the /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so module for both the rlogin and  rsh  ser-
     vices.  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(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level
