+ <para>Why doesn't SSH authentication through

+ </question>
+
+ <answer>
+ <para>The reason why <filename>.shosts</filename>
+ authentication does not work by default in more recent
+ versions of FreeBSD is because <application>ssh</application>
+ is not installed suid root by default. To
+ <quote>fix</quote> this, you can do one of the

+
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>As a permanent fix, set
+ <makevar>ENABLE_SUID_SSH</makevar> to <literal>true</literal>
+ in <filename>/etc/make.conf</filename> and rebuild ssh
+ (or run <command>make world</command>).</para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>As a temporary fix, change the mode on
+ <filename>/usr/bin/ssh</filename> to <literal>4555</literal>
+ by running <command>chmod 4755 /usr/bin/ssh</command> as
+ <username>root</username>. Then add
+ <makevar>ENABLE_SUID_SSH= true</makevar> to
+ <filename>/etc/make.conf</filename> so the change takes
+ effect the next time <command>make world</command> is
+ run.</para>
