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