Hello, 

I am having a problem with activating SSHD Host Based Authentication on
my 
FreeBSD OS. Below is my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file.

HostbasedAuthentication yes
PermitRootLogin no
VerifyReverseMapping yes
IgnoreRhosts yes
IgnoreUserKnownHosts yes

My /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/shosts.equiv have a few specific hostnames.
But 
it seems I can still connect from any host -(.

How can I block ALL hosts access to my SSHD. I tried putting in a minus 
minus in the /etc/hosts.equiv and /etc/shosts.equiv and I have the 
HostbasedAuthentication setting turned to up to yes. Still no success.

Any help would be appreciated.
