Well, this is not matter since pam_set_item expect this argument as a string.<br /> Besides there is not always
possibleto get map from ip address to hostname.<br /> So hostname is just a synonim for whatever information you cat

I dont understand whay in CheckPAMAuth function only PAM_USER item is
adding to pam information before authenticate?
Wheter it would be a problem to set additional pam information like
PAM_RHOST which is very useful because we can use this item to restrict
access to this ip address.

Your implementation uses NI_NUMERICHOST, but the documentation of
pam_set_item speaks of a "hostname". Which is correct?
