I've never used ssh with .shosts, only key based auth. but a quick search on the net proves your right. (and actualy a possible solution). i found several documents refering to .shosts authentication that stated ssh must be installed suid to get a privelaged port, for .shosts authentication to work, and by default ssh isn't installed as suid on freebsd (though setting ENABLE_SUID_SSH=true in make.conf will install it as sutch) -- Jacob "I'm Brainy For Zombie Pops" Frelinger Resident Psycho http://www.thecoffinclub.com Jolly at TheCoffinClub dot Com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
