The rhosts PAM module, /usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1, authenticates a user via
the rlogin authentication protocol. Only pam_sm_authenticate() is implemented within this module. pam_sm_authenticate() uses the ruserok(3SOCKET)
library function to authenticate the rlogin or rsh user. pam_sm_setcred() is a null function.
/usr/lib/security/pam_rhosts_auth.so.1 is designed
to be stacked on top of the /usr/lib/security/pam_unix.so.1
module for both the rlogin and rsh
services. This module is normally configured as sufficient so that subsequent authentication is performed only on failure
of pam_sm_authenticate(). The following option may be
passed in to this service module:
-
debug
-
syslog(3C)
debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.
