I'm not familiar with the use of .rhosts/.shosts, but I don't think those are needed at all with a machine or per-user known_hosts file/files

Hello all! I'm looking for a solution to the following problem - I need to be able to use OpenSSH from root on one system to perform work on several dozen other systems using some automation. The restrictions that have to be met to keep the business happy are that no cleartext passwords or unencrypted private keys can be stored on disk. Since this is within an automated environment, there

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,

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

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

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, 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

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 HostbasedAuthentication yes [...] My /etc/ssh/ssh_config contains: [...]

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, I'm running OpenSSH 1.2.3 here on assorted Solaris and Linux machines. On the Linux machines, users are able to ssh back and forth among the machines without a password assuming proper .shosts files, but root is never able to do the same: it always gets prompted for a password. I'm using RH6.2 here. I've tried fiddling with PAM, /etc/securetty, /etc/hosts.equiv, all to no
