-.SH "NAME"
-pam_rhosts \- The rhosts PAM module
-.SH "SYNOPSIS"
-.HP \w'\fBpam_rhosts\&.so\fR\ 'u
-\fBpam_rhosts\&.so\fR
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-This module performs the standard network authentication for services, as used by traditional implementations of
-\fBrlogin\fR
-and
-\fBrsh\fR
-etc\&.
-.PP
-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\*(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)\&. Accordingly, for applications to be compatible this authentication module they must set these items prior to calling
-\fBpam_authenticate()\fR\&. The module is not capable of independently probing the network connection for such information\&.

-.SH "RETURN VALUES"
