How do I get hostbased authentication to work with SSH2 and SSH1?
Below is a stepwise HOWTO for setting up hostbased authentication for SSH1 or SSH2 or SSH2 with SSH1 compatibility. Also included are some notes on using SSH2 with SSH1 compatibility. Note that, before SSH 2.1.0.pl2, hostbased authentication does not work properly on a Solaris 2.6 server if libwrap support is compiled into the ssh daemon. For older version fo the ssh daemon, a workaround using SSH2 with SSH1 compatiblity is discussed below. Here, I’ll use the following terms: • The Server is the Secure Shell server into which you’re trying to connect. • The ServerUser is the username on the Server into which you’d like to login. • The Client is the machine running a Secure Shell client. • The ClientUser is the username on the Client that you’d like to allow to login to the Server as the Server User. As an example, our backups are done via username “backup” on host Tapeserv. On our Authserv server, user “root” is trying to connect to Tapeserv to make Authserv’s backups on Tapeserv’s tap
