Hi,
I'm running OpenSSH 1.2.3 here on assorted Solaris and Linux machines.
On the Linux machines, users are able to ssh back and forth among
the machines without a password assuming proper .shosts files, but
root is never able to do the same: it always gets prompted for a password.
I'm using RH6.2 here. I've tried fiddling with PAM, /etc/securetty,
/etc/hosts.equiv, all to no avail: I still get prompted for a password.
On the Solaris boxes using the same OpenSSH, ssh(d)_config files,
and proper .shosts, both users and root can do the passwordless login.
Any ideas what else to try? I'm sure it's something simple but I can't
see it. I'd really like to do the .shosts authenticated remote root logins
in some admin scripts.
Thanks!
