similar to: AW: rhostsauthentication fails. (Or why I hate poorly documented software.)

I have a ssh enabled server and client machine (we'll call them "server" and "client" respectively...) They both have proper RSA and DSA keys,using protocol version 2 works fine between them. (so ssh itself and the network is working fine) However, I want to get something that will work with rsync without having to manually enter passwords, passphrases, or enter such

Hello ! I think a problem was introduced in openssh-2.3.0p1 which is still there in the latest openssh-2.5.2p1. I just noticed it before my vacation and could not send this mail earlier than today. The problem is: You can't use the Rhosts-RSA authentication based on the hosts.equiv file and the host keys. The only possible way to do rhosts-RSA authentication is to allow the usage of the

Hello, it's me again ! I tried to compile / install OpenSSH on our Reliant UNIX system, OS version 5.45 (and 5.44). The following problems did appear: 1. OpenSSL-0.9.5a will not compile out of the box. The problem on RU 5.45 is, that the compiler does support "long long" but NOT "unsigned long long". The latter just provokes the error message "superfluous

Hi ! I upgraded one of our Reliant UNIX systems from 2.1.1 to 2.3.0p1. Now, I suddenly can't login any more. The error message is: Attempting authentication for illegal user ... The reason is: Password expiration Although I don't use my password to login, at all. I login via RSAAuthentication and this did work with version 2.1.1. Version 2.3.0p1, obviously, checks the password

Hello all, It seems that RhostsAuthentication does not work on non-default port no matter what when connecting from OpenSSH (2.1.1, 2.2.0 tried) either with protocol 1 or protocol 2 (shouldn't work either..). _However_ when connecting with SSH.COM Ltd's ssh, RhostsAuthentication works just fine! Checking the port number of ssh client you can see that OpenSSH doesn't assign

Hi ! To all: A Happy New Year ! During the last week I did some investigations why the X11 forwarding on Reliant UNIX Versions 5.44 and 5.45 does not work out of the box with OpenSSH-2.3.0p1. The result fo my investigation is: 1. The OpenSSH sshd opens a TCP/IP-port 6000 + display number and listens to it. This is fine and works with Solaris 7, DEC-OSF 4.0D, Linux and FreeBSD-4.2 but not

I found this problem when working with the Suse9.1 distribution, but have since reproduced it with a vanilla build of Openssh (openssh-3.9p1.tar.gz). Basically I cannot get a command like this: XXXX>ssh -vvv -1 -o "RhostsAuthentication yes" AAAA to work. Yes the appropriate settings are in the servers sshd_config file. Hostbased protocol 1 ssh using rhosts between computers is

Hi, is anybody out there still using RhostsAuthentication? Can we please remove it? I just stumbled over a few sshd_config's set up by colleagues who didn't bother to understand what they are doing, and since .shosts didn't work anymore after upgrading to OpenSSH 3, they just enabled RhostsAuth and voila, back to "working"... Yes, there is a big warning in the

Hi, the following patch to contrib/cygwin/ssh-host-config creates /etc/ssh_config and /etc/sshd_config according to the current default config files. Could somebody please check it in?

Hi, could anybody with check in privileges apply the following patch to the contrib cygwin directory? It only updates ssh-host-config to create the *_config files matching the latest versions in the top level dir and it updates a version number in README. Thanks in advance, Corinna Index: contrib/cygwin/README =================================================================== RCS file:

I've installed OpenSSH 2.9p1 on Solaris 2.7 and I am trying to get rhost authentication working. Something appears to be wrong with the client side as I can do rhost auth with a ssh1.2.27 client. Any help would be appreciated. /opt/openssh-2.9p1/etc/ssh_config is: ForwardX11 yes RhostsAuthentication yes /opt/openssh-2.9p1/etc/sshd_config is: Port 22 IgnoreRhosts no StrictModes yes

openssh 2.5.2p2 on Solaris 8 has PAM/cron problems. If I build it with PAM then cron quits working giving "cron audit problem." errors. If I turn PAM off then cron works but I get kicked out of any session where a password is needed (i.e. no .rhosts/.shosts or not using ssh-agent) with the message "Connection closed by IP#". I get through if I have a .rhosts/.shosts or use

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
