/usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so
DESCRIPTION
The rhosts PAM module, /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so, authenti‐
cates 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 authenti‐
cate 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
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(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG
level
