I have installed OpenSSH_3.1p1 on my site's Sun servers following the
documentation from www.sunfreeware and the "Configuring OpenSSH for
the Solaris Operating Environment" Sun BluePrint. I generated the
rsa1, rsa and dsa host keys along with the private/public keys for the
user with passphrase.
We are connecting to the servers via SecureCRT 3.4.4. I have
configured SecureCRT to connect using public key and this works,
entirely too well, it does not prompt for passphrase. It
automatically connects to the server. I know this is one of the main
advantages of using public key, but I am afraid that if my desktop is
hijacked or compromised that the servers are now completely
vulnerable. Is there something I am missing in the configuration that
would prompt for the passphrase? I have invested quite a bit of time
reading about the configurable options in /usr/local/etc/sshd_config
and /usr/local/etc/ssh_config, but haven't found the solution.
Thanks In Advance -
Chris
