NAME

     pam_rhosts -- rhosts PAM module

SYNOPSIS

     [service-name] module-type control-flag pam_rhosts [options]

DESCRIPTION

     The rhosts authentication service module for PAM provides functionality for only one PAM category: authentication.  In terms of the
     module-type parameter, this is the ``auth'' feature.

   Rhosts Authentication Module
     The Rhosts authentication component (pam_sm_authenticate()), returns success if and only if the target user's UID is not 0 and the remote
     host and user are listed in /etc/hosts.equiv or in the target user's ~/.rhosts.

     The following options may be passed to the authentication module:

     debug	 syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.

     no_warn	 suppress warning messages to the user.  These messages include reasons why the user's authentication attempt was declined.

     allow_root  do not automatically fail if the target user's UID is 0.

SEE ALSO

     hosts.equiv(5), pam.conf(5), pam(8)
