Hello,
I am trying to enable host based authentication so that I may log into two
particular machines without providing a password.
I have installed Open SSH 2.1.1 and have generated host keys on two
machines. I have added each hosts host_key.pub to my ~/.ssh/known_hosts
files on each machine as well. The problem is that when I try to ssh from
one of the machines mentioned above I get the following message:
The authenticity of host 'balthazar' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is 1c:5a:qd:45:24:e3:15:93:2e:a5:b7:f8:cd:1e:c8:90.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
I have verified that I didn't grab any newline characters in the
host_key.pub files and both hosts have entries in the /etc/hosts files.
Can you give me any feedback as to what the problem is of if this is not
aberant behavior since I hust set this up ? Again thank
