.Ar module-type
.Ar control-flag
.Pa pam_rhosts
.Op Ar options
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The rhosts authentication service module for PAM,
.Nm
provides functionality for only one PAM category:
authentication.
In terms of the
.Ar module-type
parameter, this is the
.Dq Li auth
feature.
.Ss Rhosts Authentication Module
The Rhosts authentication component
.Pq Fn 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
.Pa /etc/hosts.equiv
or in the target user's
.Pa ~/.rhosts .
.Pp
The following options may be passed to the authentication module:
.Bl -tag -width ".Cm allow_root"
.It Cm debug
.Xr syslog 3
debugging information at
.Dv LOG_DEBUG
level.
.It Cm no_warn
