+.SH "Name"

+.SH "Synopsis"
+.fam C

+\fBpam_rhosts\&.so\fR

+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This module performs the standard network authentication for services, as used by traditional implementations of
+\fBrlogin\fR
+and
+\fBrsh\fR
+etc\&.
+.PP
+The authentication mechanism of this module is based on the contents of two files;
+\FC/etc/hosts\&.equiv\F[]
+(or and
+\FC~/\&.rhosts\F[]\&. 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
+\FC/etc/hosts\&.equiv\F[]
+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\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"

+\fBdebug\fR

+.SH "MODULE TYPES PROVIDED"
+.PP
+Only the

+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.PP
+PAM_AUTH_ERR
+.RS 4
+The remote host, remote user name or the local user name couldn\'t be determined or access was denied by
+\FC\&.rhosts\F[]
