Subject:   Avoiding passwords with ssh under 4.3R
Message-ID:  <nospam-1000238233.80909@mx.gbch.net>

I have recently installed 4.3-RELEASE on a system which needs
ssh access to a couple 4.2-R boxes.  I copied the ssh_config and
sshd_config files from the 4.2 boxes to the new system.

From the 4.2 boxes, I can ssh to any system without a password,
but from the 4.3 box I am prompted for a password on every
system, including the 4.3 box itself.

The other anomaly is that root can ssh out to all hosts from the
4.3 box without a password; the password requirement is limited
to non-root users.

If anybody can tell me what I've missed in order to ssh out of
that 4.3 box as an ordinary user without having to type a
password, I'd be delighted.

Please address replies to me as well as the list, as I'm not
currently subscribed.
