Hello, I am trying to connect to a machine on our LAN with the .shosts method, but it seems that my ssh client is not even willing to try that. My $HOME/.ssh/config looks like this: ------- Host myserver HostName myserver.mydomain.net Protocol 2 RhostsRSAAuthentication yes RhostsAuthentication yes HostbasedAuthentication yes ------- When I try to connect with ssh -v, I get the following output: ------- OpenSSH_3.0.2p1 Debian 1:3.0.2p1-9, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090603f debug1: Reading configuration data /home/juergen/.ssh/config debug1: Applying options for cavemaus debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Seeding random number generator debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted. debug1: restore_uid debug1: ssh_connect: getuid 1000 geteuid 0 anon 1 debug1: Connecting to myserver.mydomain.net [XXX.XX.XX.XXX] port 22. [...] ------- I then get logged in via public key authentication. Am I correct in assuming that the 'Rhosts Authentication disabled' line means that the client isn't even going to try the .shosts method? If so, is there anything I can do to remediate that? The client system is sid, the server woody and ssh is installed SUID root on both. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Juergen
