                       pam_rhosts — The rhosts PAM module

   ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

DESCRIPTION

   This module performs the standard network authentication for services, as
   used by traditional implementations of rlogin and rsh etc.

   The authentication mechanism of this module is based on the contents of
   two files; /etc/hosts.equiv (or and ~/.rhosts. Firstly, hosts listed in
   the former file are treated as equivalent to the localhost. Secondly,
   entries in the user's own copy of the latter file is used to map
   "remote-host remote-user" pairs to that user's account on the current
   host. Access is granted to the user if their host is present in
   /etc/hosts.equiv and their remote account is identical to their local one,
   or if their remote account has an entry in their personal configuration
   file.

   The module authenticates a remote user (internally specified by the item
   PAM_RUSER connecting from the remote host (internally specified by the
   item PAM_RHOST). Accordingly, for applications to be compatible this
   authentication module they must set these items prior to calling
   pam_authenticate(). The module is not capable of independently probing the
   network connection for such information.
