Kosala , You can still use SSH with PAM and skip both password and key authentication by changing the following entry in /etc/pam.d/sshd file and commenting other auth entries. auth sufficient pam_nologin.so no_warn i.e. Change the pam_nologin.so to "sufficient" in the auth category and comment all others in this category (I guess even commenting other entries may not be required since we made it "sufficient" but it has to be the first entry, you can try that out). -Sharath. -----Original Message----- From: Christian Grunfeld [mailto:christian.grunfeld@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 1:27 AM To: Kosala Atapattu Cc: chaoson; secureshell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Disable SSH authentication As simple as: server side: nc -l -p 1234 -e /bin/bash client side: nc <destination ip > 1234 cheers ! 2008/10/14 Kosala Atapattu <kosala.atapattu@xxxxxxxxx>: > running commands with Netcat... even wierder.... > > This is not the answer to your question.
