- <para>
- This module performs the standard network authentication for services,
- as used by traditional implementations of <command>rlogin</command>
- and <command>rsh</command> etc.
- </para>
- <para>
- The authentication mechanism of this module is based on the contents
- of two files; <filename>/etc/hosts.equiv</filename> (or
- and <filename>~/.rhosts</filename>. 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
- "<emphasis>remote-host remote-user</emphasis>" pairs to that user's
- account on the current host. Access is granted to the user if their
- host is present in <filename>/etc/hosts.equiv</filename> and their
- remote account is identical to their local one, or if their remote
- account has an entry in their personal configuration file.
- </para>
- <para>
- The module authenticates a remote user (internally specified by the
- item <parameter>PAM_RUSER</parameter> connecting from the remote
- host (internally specified by the item <command>PAM_RHOST</command>).
- Accordingly, for applications to be compatible this authentication
- module they must set these items prior to calling
- <function>pam_authenticate()</function>. The module is not capable
- of independently probing the network connection for such information.
