I haven't tried this out yet (but hopefully will today), but I think the .shosts
file needs to be in the home directory of testaccount. (or maybe you've got it
there already?)
In copying over the hostkey.pub file to ../knownhosts, are you putting the
fully qualified hostname in caps? Also, from the directions I've got, you've
got a "." where you need an underscore (right before ssh-dss):
/etc/ssh2/knownhosts/optimus_ssh-dss.pub ---where optimus is the long
hostname.
