Description Michael Redinger 2001-05-30 16:46:23 UTC 
I tried to use pam_env to set the REMOTEHOST (PAM_RHOST) and REMOTEUSER 
(PAM_RUSER)  variables - one of the best things of Irix ... ;)

However: REMOTEHOST doesn't work for rsh (but for rlogin), REMOTEUSER 
never works.
I had a look at the netkit-rsh source and found that this wasn't set 
there ...

My patch automatically sets the REMOTEUSER and a REMOTEHOST variables.
(I maybe should have a look at rexec, too - don't know that protocol,
don't know if the user is given as parameter when connecting).

It was just the other way round ... REMOTEHOST worked for rlogin, not for rsh.
