Hello: Can anyone show me direction on how to config the sshd_conf and ssd_conf file so that I can remotely login to other machine without typing any password (for root user)? I am using the openssh as default in Red Hat 7.3. I have set the machine IP/user name in the files: /root/.shosts, /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv, /etc/hosts.equiv. But it is still fail! Thanks a lot!
