+Subject: [PATCH] login: use original FQDN for PAM_RHOST
+
+When login -h <remotehost> is invoked, init_remote_info() strips the
+local domain suffix from the hostname (FQDN to short name) before
+storing it in cxt->hostname. This truncated value is then used for
+PAM_RHOST, which can bypass pam_access host deny rules that match on
+the FQDN.
+
+Preserve the original -h hostname in a new cmd_hostname field and use
+it for PAM_RHOST, while keeping the truncated hostname for utmp/wtmp
+and logging unchanged.
+
+Note, the real-world impact is low -- login -h is only used by legacy
+telnet/rlogin daemons, and exploitation requires FQDN-specific
+pam_access rules on a system still using these obsolete services.
