- pam_rhosts — The rhosts PAM module
- ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
- DESCRIPTION
- This 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.
- OPTIONS
- debug
- Print debug information.
- silent
- Don't print informative messages.
- superuser=account
- Handle account as root.
- EXAMPLES
- To 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
