Authentication for remsh and rexec Sercvices
Pluggable Authenticaion Modules (PAM) for authentication is supported
on HP-UX. PAM support enables users who are not listed in
/etc/passwd file to use the rexecd and remshd service. It also enbles you
to use authentication methods other than the standard UNIX
authentication. DCE integrated login and Kerberos are authentication
mechanisms you can use in addition to standard UNIX authentication.
The rexecd and remshd services will use the authentication mechanism
specified in “OTHER” directive of the /etc/pam.conf file. To use other
authentication methods, you must edit the /etc/pam.conf file.
The Pluggable Authentication Module Configuration File
The /etc/pam.conf file is the configuration file for the Pluggable
Authentication Module architecture (PAM). The pam.conf file contains a
list of services. Each service is paired with a corresponding service
module. When a service is requested, its associated module is invoked.
Each entry in the /etc/pam.conf file has the following format:
Service_name module_type control_flag module_path options.
Refer to the pam.conf manpage for a detailed description of each of the
fields mentioned above.
Enabling Standard UNIX Authentication on rexecd and remshd
Services
To use the rexecand remsh services enabled with PAM, add thefollowing
lines to the /etc/pam.conf file:
rcomds auth required /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1
rcomds account required /usr/lib/security/libpam_unix.1
The remshd and rexecd services will use the above entries as
