similar to: SSH-2 hostbased auth

I'm trying to use HostbasedAuthentication. Running ssh -v -v -v user at host the following error occurs: debug3: authmethod_is_enabled hostbased debug1: next auth method to try is hostbased debug2: userauth_hostbased: chost <host> debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method What does this mean ? I enabled HostbasedAuthentication in /etc/ssh/ssh_config and as it looks, this setting

If HostbasedUsesNameFromPacketOnly is set to yes, sshd does not remove the trailing dot from the client supplied hostname, causing sshd to attempt to look up "foo.example.com." (note trailing period) in known_hosts and .shosts instead of "foo.example.com" Trivial patch attached. -- Carson -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was

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

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. Created /etc/ssh/sshd_config on OpenSSH server with: RhostsAuthentication yes IgnoreRhosts no HostbasedAuthentication yes Created /etc/ssh/ssh_config on client with: Host * HostbasedAuthentication yes Created /etc/rhosts.equiv,

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 to date on all hosts. (This is the same situation like DNS vs

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 debug3: mm_append_debug: Appending debug messages for

All, Could someone explain the purpose of the uidswap functions with respect to ssh ( the client ). From what I gathered , ssh installs as setuid root and swaps ids when reading potential key files that may be read only by root. Also , I think when binding to a privileged port ssh swaps id. Is that so? What are the consequnences if you do not install ssh setuid root? ( As far I as know no uid

OpenSSH 3.3 has just been released. It will be available from the mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly. OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol version 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. We would like to thank the OpenSSH community for their continued support and encouragement. Changes since OpenSSH 3.2.3: ============================

We have a problem using hostbased authentication in combination with the root account. We use hostbased authentication to hop from a 'management server' where we use strong authentication to several systems in a cluster. The management server is defined in shosts.equiv and the public key of this server is defined in ssh_known_hosts. This setup works for all users except for the root user

I'm not happy with ssh being setuid root. I know that the long-term goal is to have a seperate host-key-management process, but that is a ways off. Until then, I'd like to propose the following: - Allow ssh to read alternate key files. This would allow the ssh client to use keyfiles different from the ones sshd uses. I know that this can be done now by changing the ones sshd uses,

Hi, I am still working on getting hostbased authentication working in OpenSSH 3.5p1. I emailed the user list, and got no response. It seems so simple, yet I have continued to have problems getting it working properly. I've read posts about it on this list, and the openssh-unix-dev list, and nothing I have tried seems to work. My question is this, does it matter which key, either

Hi, we're looking to reduce 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

I am seeing the same issues as another recent post, hostbased authentication in 3.4p1 not seeming to work. I tried the ssh-keysign.c patch posted, didn't seem to fix the problem.
