NAMEpam_rhosts − The rhosts PAM module

SYNOPSISpam_rhosts​.so

DESCRIPTIONThis module performs the standard network authentication for services, as used by traditional implementations of rlogin and rsh etc​. The authentication mechanism of this module is based on the contents of two files; /etc/hosts​.equiv (or and ~/​.rhosts​. 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 "remote−host remote−user" pairs to that user's account on the current host​. Access is granted to the user if their host is present in /etc/hosts​.equiv and their remote account is identical to their local one, or if their remote account has an entry in their personal configuration file​. The module authenticates a remote user (internally specified by the item PAM_RUSER connecting from the remote host (internally specified by the item PAM_RHOST)​. Accordingly, for applications to be compatible this authentication module they must set these items prior to calling pam_authenticate()​. The module is not capable of independently probing the network connection for such information​.

OPTIONSdebug Print debug information​. silent Don't print informative messages​. superuser=account Handle account as root​.

MODULE TYPES PROVIDEDOnly the auth module type is provided​.

RETURN VALUESPAM_AUTH_ERR The remote host, remote user name or the local user name couldn't be determined or access was denied by ​.rhosts file​. PAM_USER_UNKNOWN User is not known to system​.

EXAMPLESTo grant a remote user access by /etc/hosts​.equiv or ​.rhosts for rsh add the following lines to /etc/pam​.d/rsh: #%PAM−1​.0 # auth required pam_rhosts​.so auth required pam_nologin​.so auth required pam_env​.so auth required pam_unix​.so
