I've installed OpenSSH 2.9p1 on two hosts and I am trying to ssh from
one to the other with rhost authentication.  Something appears to be
wrong with the client side as I can do this rhost auth with a ssh1.2.27
client.  Any help would be appreciated.

/opt/openssh-2.9p1/etc/ssh_config on client is:

ForwardX11 yes
RhostsAuthentication yes

/opt/openssh-2.9p1/etc/sshd_config on server is:

Port 22
IgnoreRhosts no
StrictModes yes
X11Forwarding yes
X11DisplayOffset 10
KeepAlive yes
SyslogFacility AUTH
LogLevel INFO
RhostsAuthentication yes
RSAAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
PermitEmptyPasswords no
Subsystem       sftp    /opt/openssh-2.9p1/libexec/sftp-server



When I run ssh -v I notice that Rhosts Auth is disabled.  Regardless if
I change this setting in ssh_config or not.  I've even tried changing
the protocol to ssh1 in ssh_config and its still disabled.  Is this a
bug with OpenSSH-2.9p1 or am I doing something else wrong?

Here is some output with :
