Everyone has probably seen this question a 1,000 times by now, but here goes.
I need to get a trusted host arrangement between a number of machines.  
Configurations for several machines went find, but one is giving me trouble.  
I copied the ssh_config; sshd_config from a successful implementation to the 
problem box.

MACHINE - Redhat 7.2 - openssh-2.9p2-9

client's /etc/ssh/ssh_config includes:

        <commented lines>
Host statamatic
        ForwardAgent yes
        ForwardX11 yes
        FallBackToRsh no
        Protocol 2,1
        RhostsAuthentication yes
        RhostsRSAAuthentication yes
        DSAAuthentication yes
        IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity
# Be paranoid by default
Host *
        ForwardAgent no
        ForwardX11 yes
        FallBackToRsh no
        Protocol 2,1
   RhostsAuthentication yes
   RhostsRSAAuthentication yes
DSAAuthentication yes

PERMISSIONS:
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root         1261 Nov 30 08:35 ssh_config
-rw-------    1 root     root         1195 Nov 27 10:53 sshd_config


When I: ssh -v -v -v statamatic I get:

debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for statamatic
debug1: Applying options for *
debug1: Seeding random number generator
debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted.
debug1: restore_uid

MACHINE - Redhat 7.2 - openssh-2.9p2-9

Okay...so what is leading to "Rhosts Authentication disabled."  It will 
authenticate on passphrase/password. Is there another config file somewhere 
or what?

Thanks in advance.

Host machine sshd_config --- probably not important since problem seems to 
occur before this, nevertheless, greps of the more important lines:

RhostsAuthentication yes
RhostsRSAAuthentication yes
DSAAuthentication yes
RSAAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
#SkeyAuthentication no
#KerberosAuthentication no
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
#IgnoreUserKnownHosts yes
IgnoreRhosts no
# Uncomment if you don't trust ~/.ssh/known_hosts for RhostsRSAAuthentication
RhostsAuthentication yes
# For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh_known_hosts
RhostsRSAAuthentication yes
