Hello;

I am having difficulties setting up ssh (ossh4.3p2 with PAM-enabled - NIS -Solaris8/Sparc) to authenticate and allow users passwordless entry based solely on one or more of the following:

1. User is a member of an NIS 'group', say group1, and this group has been setup within sshd_config using "AllowGroup group1".

2. User and/or host is a valid member of NIS 'netgroup', whereby the client host has been defined as being a part of netgroup named netgroup1 or the user from 'any' machine as being a part of netgroup netgroup2. In this case I am using "AllowGroup netgroup1 netgroup2".

Authentication is already setup properly for rsh and rsh denies users based on their host and/or user, all from NIS and depending what is contained within /etc/hosts.equiv and/or /.rhosts. What I wish to do is to duplicate this within ossh.

For instance, I have three machines.

host-A - this machines root can log into anywhere and denies all machines not belonging to netgroup X

host-B - this machine does not belong to netgroup X and is denied access to machines in this netgroup. This machine is a member of netgroup Y and allows root logins from machines in netgroup X and Y. (X is not restricted anywhere) as well as 'netgroup' [EMAIL PROTECTED]

host-C - this machine belongs to netgroup Z, accepts connections from netgroups [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I am having alot of trouble finding information on how to get NIS netgroup to work into my sshd_config. Since I am using PAM, should my pam.conf contain some special information for ssh w/PAM? Do I need any special pam modules?

Should I create a special /etc/shosts.equiv and/or ~.shosts file/s? If so, what should I place into my sshd_config for the above?

Many thanks in advance,

.vp
