.SH NAME
pam_rhosts_auth \- authentication management PAM modules using ruserok()
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
.B /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1
.LP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX "pam_rhosts_auth" "" "\fLpam_rhosts_auth\fP \(em authentication management using ruserok()"
.PP
The rhosts PAM module,
.BR /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1 ,
authenticates a user via the
.B rlogin
authentication protocol.
Only
.B pam_sm_authenticate(\|)
is implemented within this module.
.B pam_sm_authenticate(\|)
uses the
.BR ruserok (3)
library funtion to authenticate the
.B rlogin
or
.B rsh
user.
.B pam_sm_setcred(\|)
is a null function.
.PP
.B /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1
is designed to be stacked on top of
the
.B /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1
module
for both the
.B rlogin
and
.B rsh
services.
This module is normally configured as
.I sufficient
so that subsequent
authentication is performed only on failure of
.BR pam_sm_authenticate(\|) .
The following option may be passed in to this service module:
.RS
.IP debug 15
.B syslog(3)
debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level
.RE
