In terms of the module-type parameter, this is the "auth" feature. Rhosts Authentication Module 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 syslog(3) debugging information at LOG_DEBUG level. no_warn suppress warning messages to the user. These messages in- clude reasons why the user's authentication attempt was de- clined. allow_root do not automatically fail if the target user's UID is 0.
