.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"
.PP
\fBdebug\fR
.RS 4
Print debug information\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBsilent\fR
.RS 4
Don\'t print informative messages\&.
.RE
.PP
\fBsuperuser=\fR\fB\fIaccount\fR\fR
.RS 4
Handle
\fIaccount\fR
as root\&.
.RE
.SH "MODULE TYPES PROVIDED"
.PP
Only the
\fBauth\fR
module type is provided\&.
.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[]
file\&.
.RE
.PP
PAM_USER_UNKNOWN
.RS 4
User is not known to system\&.
.RE
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
To grant a remote user access by
\FC/etc/hosts\&.equiv\F[]
or
\FC\&.rhosts\F[]
