Hi all,

second try to make it work: After I gave up using the precompiled OPENSSH3.4p1 version for AIX, I compiled the sources for OPENSSH3.5p1 on the AIX machines and used one for client-purposes, the ohter as a ssh-server. I want to have the same behaviour as I used the "r-" commands, without password. It still appears to me, as if openssh does not care about any .rhosts or .shosts files. Look what it says in the debuglog:

# /opt/sbin/sshd -f /opt/etc/sshd_config -d -d

debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_3.5p1
debug1: private host key: #0 type 0 RSA1
debug1: read PEM private key done: type RSA
debug1: private host key: #1 type 1 RSA

My Client call was

/opt/bin/ssh <hostname> -o RhostsAuthentication=yes -o Protocol=1 -o UsePrivilegedPort=yes

Is there anyone out there in the wide world, who made this work under any OS?
