sshd not using .shosts file
« on: December 10, 2002, 04:56:12 AM »
Hi all,

I was wanting to be able to ssh to my e-smith server from another unix box without requesting user interaction for a password.  Could someone tell me how to allow this?  I've edited the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and changed these settings to:
   IgnoreRhosts no
   PasswordAuthentication yes
   PermitEmptyPasswords no
   PermitRootLogin yes
   RSAAuthentication yes
   RhostsAuthentication yes
   RhostsRSAAuthentication no

I am thinking this should let me ssh in using either the .rhosts or .shosts files for equivelancy.

Help please.  Thank you in advance.
