Firstly, hosts listed in the former file are treated as equivalent to the localhost\&. Secondly, entries in the user\*(Aqs own copy of the latter file is used to map "\fIremote\-host remote\-user\fR" pairs to that user\*(Aqs 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\&. +.PP +The module authenticates a remote user (internally specified by the item +\fIPAM_RUSER\fR +connecting from the remote host (internally specified by the item +\fBPAM_RHOST\fR)\&.
