by I've got a user who wants to be able to have SSH based use of the .rhosts or
.shosts file. I've tried to talk him out of it, but for various reasons he
insists on having it available for several machines behind the firewall.
The problem is that I cannot get it working: I've been examining the various
config files and trying out various combinations. I *think* that all I need
to do is enable:
RhostsAuthentication yes
IgnoreRhosts no
in the sshd_config, and set:
*
RhostsAuthentication yes
in ssh_config or the local config file. Or am I missing something here? I've
also seen recent rumors of the requirement for OpenSSH 3.4p1 on the server
for group access to the ~/.ssh directory by the "sshd" group. Unfortunately,
this seems difficult to set up since only "sshd" is a member of that group,
and I have to go in and set that as root since the users aren't members of
that group.
