I believe that either the application or a previous module has to set a
pam_item before it can be usefully used.
You can check whether there was an rhost set by checking the return
value of the function - if it's PAM_BAD_ITEM, the rhost is not set.
In fact, any return value other than PAM_SUCCESS means the buffer may
not be loaded.
return_value = pam_get_item(handle, RAM_RHOST, buffer);
if (return_value == PAM_SUCCESS)
strcpy(rhost, buffer);
else {
// put in error handling
}
