I copied the ssh_config and sshd_config files from the 4.2 boxes to the new system. From the 4.2 boxes, I can ssh to any system without a password, but from the 4.3 box I am prompted for a password on every system, including the 4.3 box itself. The other anomaly is that root can ssh out to all hosts from the 4.3 box without a password; the password requirement is limited to non-root users. If anybody can tell me what I've missed in order to ssh out of that 4.3 box as an ordinary user without having to type a password, I'd be delighted. Please address replies to me as well as the list, as I'm not currently subscribed. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
