Hi, We want to use Hostbased Authentication in OpenSSH 3.4p1 completely based on rhosts or shosts. Don't want to have any keys exchange between server and client.

Hi, Based on some experimentation with 5.4p1 and a cursory examination of the source code, it doesn't look like hostbased authentication takes advantage of certificates other than to authenticate the server. Is that correct? In cluster environments, hostbased authentication is still useful but the size of the ssh_known_hosts file can become unwieldy in large clusters. As an example, a few months back a colleague ment...

It appears that /etc/ssh/ssh_config enforces policy on local users in addition to its documented role as provider of defaults. $ ssh -V OpenSSH_3.5p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f $ cat .ssh/config Host localhost HostbasedAuthentication yes PreferredAuthentications hostbased $ ssh localhost Hostbased authentication not enabled in /etc/ssh/ssh_config ssh_keysign: no reply key_sign failed Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive,hostbased). The situation is rectified by enabling Hostbased authent...

Greetings, For those interested in using certificates with hostbased authentication, I have just submitted an enhancement request[1] to the OpenSSH bugzilla site with a preliminary patch that adds support for this. Despite the fact that hostbased authentication is, by default, disabled for both the client and server, there are environments where hostbased authentic...

Hello, I've troubles getting the hostbased method to work. I've given up on system-to-system for now (different versions), and I'm just trying to debug localhost. As far as I can see, the key is accepted, but then a sudden "Failed hostbased" is returned: [...] debug3: mm_answer_keyallowed: key 0x8099bc0 is disallowed debu...

Hi, is there any way to use hostbased authentication without the need to have the SSH host keys stored in a known_hosts file? We run a large cluster where we need to have passwordless remote login available. We currently do that with hostbased SSH authentication. But it is error-prone and a lot of work to keep the known_hosts file up...

All: I have a problem connecting Openssh 3.0.2p1 on Solaris 8 using hostname authentication for non-root users. When I connect to the sshd from a second machine as root it works fine using HostbasedAuthentication, but it always fails with non-root users. I suspect that I am having a permissions problem somewhere, but I'll be damned if I can figure out where. Any and all help appreciated. -David Relevant file snippets below: **************** Error message generated from the server-...

How do you enable hostbased authentication in OpenSSH? I have two Red Hat 7.3 machines running openssh-3.4p1, and I would like to be able to ssh from either of the machines to the other, as any user, without using passwords or per-user keys. My /etc/ssh/sshd_config contains: [...] IgnoreRhosts no HostbasedAuthenticati...

...g about a changed host key. In short, because the known_hosts file is indexed only by name/IP and not port, there is no way to distinguish between servers by port. The discussion in 2002, which led to the bug being closed without a fix, involved how different keys for the same name/IP would affect hostbased authentication. It's been over a year now, and the first issue (different servers behind a NAT needing the same host key) keeps coming up. I have a proposal that I believe wouldn't break hostbased authentication (which includes opening a gaping security hole), but would allow different key...

...duce the number of host lists that need to be kept in sync in our system. (There are quite a few of them all over the place) OpenSSH CAs are an obvious solution for not having to keep all host keys in sync in /etc/ssh/known_hosts, however, while OpenSSH does support using a CA in conjunction with hostbased authentication, it still requires a list of all authorized host names in the rhosts / shosts file. That does make sense, as known_hosts is of course primarily for, well, knowing host keys, and doesn't say anything about trusting them for hostbased authentication, so for hostbased using a @...

Normal key-based authentication methods would require keeping O(N*M) (N=number of users, M=number of nodes) items (millions) in sync: every user's key would need to be on every node in their ~/.ssh/authorized_keys and every node's host key needs to be in every other node's /e...
