hello guys,

i have been an avid user of SSH key-based authentication for quite sometime. however,
i would like a way to do host-based authentication on SSHv2 not SSHv1. the 
documentation
seems to be very sparce on this topic and i was just wondering if any of your guys
have encountered this before.

what is host-based authentication?

a user from host A is allowed to access host B because i have authorized the entire 
host A
to access host B regardless of the user. this is similar to passwordless rsh 
authentication
that uses /etc/hosts.equiv or ~/.rhosts.
