Hi, I followed the step on http://www.ssh.org/faq.html section 4.4 trying to set up hostbased authentications, but, when I tried to connect from client to the server, I got: Warning: Received error 3, message: "Couldn't read host key.". The worst part is, now ssh server-host doesn't work for me. Even though I entered the right passwd, after 3 times asking for passwd, it gave me the following error: No more authentication methods available. Can someone tell me what's wrong? Thanks a lot, Lily ========= I have done the following =========== 1. ssh version 2.2.0 2. scp'ed client's /etc/ssh2/hostkey.pub to server /etc/ssh2/knownhosts/client.domain.ssh-dss.pub 3. both client and server's /etc/ssh2/ssh2_config client: DefaultDomain client.domain.name server: DefaultDomain server.domain.name 4. server user: created .shosts file client.domain.name username 5. both server and client, /etc/ssh2/sshd2_config file has the line: AllowedAuthentications hostbased,passwd,publickey but sshd2 is not running, the /var/run/sshd2_22.pid doesn't exist, the only step I didn't follow is the kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sshd2_22.pid` ==========================================
