I use hostbased auth here extensively and have for years. On my machines here, hostbased does not work as root but does as a regular user. Another thing that has not been mentioned in the thread so far is the need for properly configured DNS when using hostbased. If you nslookup the client does it show a single IP? If you nslookup the IP, does it return the client name? Does the name and IP match what is in ssh_known_hosts on the server? Does the client's entry in the server's ssh_known_hosts file have both the hostname and the FQDN? If you nslookup the server does it show a single IP? If you nslookup the IP, does it return the server name? -- Tim Rice Multitalents tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ openssh-unix-dev mailing list openssh-unix-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.mindrot.org/mailman/listinfo/openssh-unix-dev
