alright, here I tell, I have PermitRootLogin nopwd AllowedAuthentications publickey,password,hostbased and I have the hostkey.pub file of the machine which will login in /root/.ssh2/knownkeys as the host name of the machine which will log in etc. (as described in the man page) Still I am not able to log in. The interesting thing is, first I set this in 1 machine and I tried it by itself (by connecting to itself) then it worked and then I tried it with other machines but it did not work. Then with those other machines I tried to connect to itselves. It still did not work. I uninstalled ssh and installed the same ssh from the same ports and distfiles again to the other machines and it still did not work. But it only works if I ONLY have hostbased in allowed authentications line. Otherwise with password and publickey support the hostbased authentication does not work. The most interesting thing is even with only hostbased authentication I am able to connect to the machine with password etc. by using securecrt from windows! but I am not able to connect to the same machine by using ssh client which came with the ssh distribution it says to me authentication method disabled! I really need some help!!! I am sure that I did the right configurations on all the machines! thanks!
