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 function.
/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.
