pam_rhosts_auth - does not seem to work ?

["Dr. Roger Zimmermann" <R Zimmermann UKE Uni-Hamburg de>]

Hello,

can plz someone send me *the* lifesaving hint !?

pam_rhosts_auth does not work the way as it should:

/etc/hosts.equiv contains:
MYCLIENT.MYDOMAIN + MYUSER

hosts.allow and hosts.deny are empty/removed.

if I login via rlogin/rsh from MYCLIENT to the machine,
I got the following in the syslog:

MYSERVER pam_rhosts_auth[10127]: user MYUSER has a `+' user entry
MYSERVER pam_rhosts_auth[10127]: denied to MYUSER@MYCLIENT.MYDOMAIN
 as MYUSER: access not allowed

whats wrong with my configuration. According to the documentation,
the debug option is not yet implemented for pam_rhosts_auth. How
can I debug the problem  ... ?

THNX, Roger
