This module performs the standard network authentication for services, as used by traditional implementations of
\fBrlogin\fR
and
\fBrsh\fR
-etc\.
+etc\&.
.PP
The authentication mechanism of this module is based on the contents of two files;
-\fI/etc/hosts\.equiv\fR
+\FC/etc/hosts\&.equiv\F[]
(or and
-\fI~/\.rhosts\fR\. 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\. The module is not capable of independently probing the network connection for such information\.
