      This module performs the standard network authentication for services,
      as used by traditional implementations of <span class="command"><strong>rlogin</strong></span>
      and <span class="command"><strong>rsh</strong></span> etc.
    </p><p>
      The authentication mechanism of this module is based on the contents
      of two files; <code class="filename">/etc/hosts.equiv</code> (or
      and <code class="filename">~/.rhosts</code>. Firstly, hosts listed in the
      former file are treated as equivalent to the localhost. Secondly,
      entries in the user's own copy of the latter file is used to map
      "<span class="emphasis"><em>remote-host remote-user</em></span>" pairs to that user's
      account on the current host. Access is granted to the user if their
      host is present in <code class="filename">/etc/hosts.equiv</code> and their
      remote account is identical to their local one, or if their remote
      account has an entry in their personal configuration file.
    </p><p>
      The module authenticates a remote user (internally specified by the
      item <em class="parameter"><code>PAM_RUSER</code></em> connecting from the remote
      host (internally specified by the item <span class="command"><strong>PAM_RHOST</strong></span>).
      Accordingly, for applications to be compatible this authentication
      module they must set these items prior to calling
      <code class="function">pam_authenticate()</code>.  The module is not capable
      of independently probing the network connection for such information.
