Hey, all. I'm trying to get a .shosts file working and am having no luck at all. Is there any documentation on this at all? I'd like to use SSH as a replacement for rsh. I have the following: SSH 2.0.13 running on Solaris 2.6 (SPARC) on 2 servers named Authserv and Kenny On Kenny, in ~gregor, there's a .shosts file containing these two lines: authserv.humboldt1.com root authserv.humboldt1.com gregor The permission on this file is 0400, owner is gregor. On Kenny, the AllowedAuthentications is set to "hostbased,publickey,password" On Kenny, in /etc/ssh2/knownhosts, there's a file called "authserv.humboldt1.com.ssh-dss.pub" which was FTP'd from Authserv. On Authserv this file was called /etc/ssh2/hostkey.pub >From Authserv, I issue the command "ssh gregor@kenny" I'm asked for a password (which itself is odd, since I have a .shosts) If I enter the password, I connect OK, and then the session hangs when I try to exit. As in, if I ctrl-D to leave the shell, it'll sit there with a "kenny$ ^D" for as long as I let it sit. If I hit a key, the connection is lost. If I change AllowedAuthentications to not include the word "hostbased", this hang does not occur. If I don't enter the password, the client gets a message that the authentication method is disabled and the server (running with -v and --enable-debug) tells me simply "Hostbased operation failed for gregor" Surely somebody out there uses SSH as a replacement for rsh. Surely somebody remembers a detail of how it was done... I'd much appreciate any tips. -- Gregor Mosheh [EMAIL PROTECTED] On-Site Systems Admin, Humboldt Internet 707.825.4638
