    Hi,

    We are using redhat linux 8.0 with OpenSSH 3.4p1 and
    trying to configure hostbased authentication just
    using rhosts and shosts. Basically we don't want to go
    by RhostRSAAuthentication which require host public
    key of ssh client system on ssh server.

    Entered client hostname in /etc/rhosts.equiv,
    /etc/shosts.equiv, /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv, ~/.rhosts
    and ~/.shosts of root user. Still root user is not
    able to ssh or scp from client to server.

    Key-based authentication is working perfectly fine. As
    we have lot of ssh clients going to come in our
    network we don't want to go by key-based
    authenctication. Please help me.

    thanks and regards,
    Sreedhar.
