#define RPCAP_RMTAUTH_NULL   0

This value has to be used within the 'type' member of the pcap_rmtauth structure. The 'NULL' authentication has to be equal to 'zero', so that old applications can just put every field of struct pcap_rmtauth to zero, and it does work.

#define RPCAP_RMTAUTH_PWD   1

With this type of authentication, the RPCAP protocol will use the username/ password provided to authenticate the user on the remote machine. If the authentication is successful (and the user has the right to open network devices) the RPCAP connection will continue; otherwise it will be dropped.

This value has to be used within the 'type' member of the pcap_rmtauth structure.
