rhosts PAM module
[service-name] module-type control-flag pam_rhosts [options]
The rhosts authentication service module for PAM provides
functionality for only one PAM category: authentication. In terms of the
module-type parameter, this is the
“auth
” feature.
The Rhosts authentication component
(pam_sm_authenticate
()),
returns success if and only if the target user's UID is not 0 and the remote
host and user are listed in /etc/hosts.equiv or in
the target user's ~/.rhosts.
The following options may be passed to the authentication module:
debug
LOG_DEBUG
level.no_warn
allow_root
The pam_rhosts
module and this manual page
were developed for the FreeBSD Project by ThinkSec
AS and NAI Labs, the Security Research Division of Network Associates, Inc.
under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (“CBOSS”), as
part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
