Hi folks, I noticed a strange behavior of sshd during a FC1 kickstart install. We use rsync/ssh to copy over config files and the like to our boxes in the %post script. For some reason, with FC, we're unable to log into a sshd running in the /mnt/sysimage changeroot using hostbased authentication. ssh -v shows that it gets stuck when trying to set up the hostbased authentication: <snip> debug1: Host 'na8' is known and matches the RSA host key. debug1: Found key in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts2:146 debug1: ssh_rsa_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive,hostbased debug1: Next authentication method: hostbased After that, it doesn't print out anything else. I'm also attaching the sshd_config file from that box. Any clue what could be wrong? Thanks, Kai -- Kai Blin, Sysop Dept. of Numerical Algebra, University of Tübingen, Germany
