I have been using ssh for a long while now, but have never had to use
.rhosts with it. Now I am trying to set up a SHADOW sensor & analysis
station. This requires that a user on the analysis station be able to
ssh over to the sensor without a password for unattended pulling of the
tcpdump logs.
I have added hostbased authentication to the sesnor's config file and
set up tcp wrappers to allow the analysis station access. I added the
analysis station to the sensor's .rhosts (and .shosts FWIW). I put the
public key file of the analysis station user over in root's ~/.ssh2 on
the sensor and created the authorizations file. Also generated a key
pair for root on the sensor.
But I must still be missing something because it still asks me to enter
the root password. This is on ssh 2.0.13.
