ssh with "RhostsRSAAuthentication yes" not working
I have recently upgraded all the machines in my dept from P4's running Fedora4-9 to Core2's running Centos 5.3.
I am using the same sshd_config as before for my network. Using NIS to login, we used to be able to ssh from machine to machine without having to enter a password. I believe the line in the config for this was:
# For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
RhostsRSAAuthentication yes
I have updated all the dsa,rsa keys in the /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts file and still cannot get passwordless logins to work. I know there are ways of doing this via the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, but this would be too cumbersome for such a large amount of users.
Any ideas what I may have done wrong? Here is my sshd_config:
# $OpenBSD: sshd_config,v 1.72 2005/07/25 11:59:40 markus Exp $
# This is the sshd server system-wide configuration file. See
# sshd_config(5) for more information.
# This sshd was compiled with PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options change a
# default value.
