Hi all, We are using OpenSSH-2.9p1 on Solaris 8 with PAM enabled. We are not able to use the HostbasedAuthentication: the server still ask for a password. ---Extract of Client ssh_config--- # Host * # ForwardAgent no # ForwardX11 no # RhostsAuthentication no # RhostsRSAAuthentication yes HostbasedAuthentication yes # RSAAuthentication yes ----------------------------------- ---Extract of Server sshd_config--- # For this to work you will also need host keys in /usr/local/etc/ssh_known_hosts RhostsRSAAuthentication no # similar for protocol version 2 HostbasedAuthentication yes # ----------------------------------- ---Extract of Server debug session--- debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: waiting for SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: newkeys: mode 0 debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: KEX done debug1: userauth-request for user root service ssh-connection method none debug1: attempt 0 failures 0 debug1: Starting up PAM with username "root" debug1: PAM setting rhost to "Client" Failed none for ROOT from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 44226 ssh2 -------------------------------------- ---Extract of Client debug session--- debug1: authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive,hostbased debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,password,keyboard-interactive,hostbased debug3: preferred publickey,password,keyboard-interactive,hostbased debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey debug3: remaining preferred: password,keyboard-interactive,hostbased debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: next auth method to try is publickey debug1: try privkey: /local/home/toto/.ssh/identity debug3: no such identity: /local/home/toto/.ssh/identity debug1: try privkey: /local/home/toto/.ssh/id_rsa debug3: no such identity: /local/home/toto/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: try privkey: /local/home/toto/.ssh/id_dsa debug3: no such identity: /local/home/toto/.ssh/id_dsa debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method debug3: authmethod_lookup password debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,hostbased debug3: authmethod_is_enabled password debug1: next auth method to try is password root@Servers's password: --------------------------------------- We have a valid .shosts on the Server's root Home dir. as well as a valid /usr/local/etc/ssh_known_hosts2 file containig the pub key of Client. Any ideas? Dominique
