NAME
     pam_rhosts	-- Rhosts PAM module

SYNOPSIS
     [service-name] module-type	control-flag pam_rhosts	[options]

DESCRIPTION
     The rhosts	authentication service module for PAM, pam_rhosts provides
     functionality for only one	PAM category: authentication.  In terms	of the
     module-type parameter, this is the	``auth'' feature.

   Rhosts Authentication Module
     The Rhosts	authentication component (pam_sm_authenticate()), returns suc-
     cess 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	 syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level.

     no_warn	 suppress warning messages to the user.	 These messages
		 include reasons why the user's	authentication attempt was
		 declined.

     allow_root	 do not	automatically fail if the target user's	UID is 0.
