Hi Jaewan,
This happens when you have different passwords in the machines. From host1 to
host2 you probably have the same root password in both of them. However, host3 and
host1
have different passwords. So, even being trusted to host3, it will require your
hosts1's password.
By the way, if you really want to use this authentication method, use
/etc/shosts.equiv instead.
