I have machines CLIENT and SERVER. On SERVER, I set the following options in /etc/ssh/sshd_config : RhostsAuthentication no RhostsRSAAuthentication yes Then I copied the host public key from /etc/ssh on CLIENT to /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts on SERVER - so now the SERVER has the CLIENTs public key. Finally, I added the hostname of CLIENT to /etc/hosts.equiv on SERVER. Then I HUPped sshd on SERVER. So now I go to CLIENT and run: ssh username@SERVER and it asks me for a password!! I even tried: ssh -1 username@SERVER and that didn't work either. I thought maybe RSA was ssh1 only, so I needed to force ssh1 ... but as I said, that didn't work either. Two questions: 1. What am I doing wrong ? 2. Am I right that using RSA host authentication like this will only work with ssh1 ? If so, how can I use ssh2 with host based key sharing ? thanks. _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Express yourself with Y! Messenger! Free. Download now. http://messenger.yahoo.com
