    Hi,

    I have tried to configure hostbased authentication on different OS
    platforms using
    OpenSSH both on client and server side:
             RedHat 7.[2,3] with OpenSSH versions 3.1p1, 3.5p1, 3.6p1
             SunOS 5.8 (SOLARIS8) with OpenSSH versions 2.9p1, 3.4p1
             BSD/OS 4.1 with OpenSSH version 3.4p1
             BIG-IP 4.2PTF-08 with OpenSSH version 3.4p1

    Finally I have found a general configuration manner for hostbased auth.
    method,
    using OpenSSH, and I hope it could be useful to other platforms too .
    I published it as a HOWTO at :
       http://www.omega.telia.net/vici/openssh

    Feel free to review it and send Your notes-suggestions about the content
    of this page to me.
    Please send notification to me, if the config was succesfull on other
    platfoms too.

    Best Regards,
