There is a nasty problem when using hostbased authentication: [thomas at sarkovy ~]$ journalctl -l -f | grep -Fe 'sshd[' Okt 22 15:20:54 sarkovy sshd[35034]: userauth_hostbased mismatch: client sends htpc.koeller.dyndns.org, but we resolve 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.2 Okt 22 15:20:54 sarkovy sshd[35034]: Connection closed by authenticating user thomas 192.168.0.2 port 36284 [preauth] ^C

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 authentication can be very useful. One

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

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.

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

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

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
