Hi Hoang,
The configuration you are trying to set up seems correct.
Look up the syslog files for any error messages from SSHD to determine the
exact cause of the problem. (/var/log/messages or sshd -v)
Probably the most common cause for hostbased authentication to fail is the
client sending only the hostname instead of fully qualified domain
name, which is retrieved via DNS by the server, or vice versa.
Regards,
Heikki Nousiainen
