First, I apologize for asking a ssh question that has it's troubles based
in Linux, here.

A friend of mine was trying to get HostBased Authentication working on a
Linux box (Linux 2.4.18-3).

To cut to the chase he deleted the password method of connecting (he was
trying to get a passwordless connection going and his fingers betrayed
him) and now has no way to get into the box --both ssh -1(i and t) and
ssh2 are hosed.

He is near me in NJ and the box is in a closet in Arizona.  All my stuff
is FreeBSD and I've never had trouble getting passwordless ssh going but,
apparently, Linux is either more difficult or unforgiving or both.

I know this is a better question for a Linux list, but hey, I'm used to
you guys.

Private replies, public replies, thoughts and ideas appreciated.
