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 "\fIremote\-host remote\-user\fR" pairs to that user's account on the current host. Access is granted to the user if their host is present in +\fI/etc/hosts.equiv\fR +and their remote account is identical to their local one, or if their remote account has an entry in their personal configuration file. +.PP +The module authenticates a remote user (internally specified by the item +\fIPAM_RUSER\fR +connecting from the remote host (internally specified by the item +\fBPAM_RHOST\fR). Accordingly, for applications to be compatible this authentication module they must set these items prior to calling +\fBpam_authenticate()\fR.
