DESCRIPTION
The rhosts authentication service module for PAM provides functionality for only one PAM category: authentication. In terms of the
module-type parameter, this is the “
auth” feature.
Rhosts Authentication Module
The Rhosts authentication component (
pam_sm_authenticate()), returns success if and only if the target user's UID is not 0 and the remote host and user are listed in
/etc/hosts.equiv or in the target user's
~/.rhosts.
The following options may be passed to the authentication module:
-
debug
-
syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.
-
no_warn
-
suppress warning messages to the user. These messages include reasons why the user's authentication attempt was declined.
-

-
do not automatically fail if the target user's UID is 0.
