PAM_RHOSTS_AUTH(5)					    PAM_RHOSTS_AUTH(5)

NAME
       pam_rhosts_auth - authentication management PAM module using ruserok()

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1

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

       /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1 is designed to be stacked on top
       of   the /usr/lib/security/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.
