Hi !

I did some debugging and now I know why RhostsAuthentication
(and RhostsRSAAuthentication) does not work between two
NT systems over here.
Regardless of the setting in the configuration file
(sshd_config) the server is disabling both authentication methods
as soon as the client does not connect from a priviledged port.
On UNIX, ssh runs as root via "set userid" and that's why there
is no problem from, e.g. Linux or Reliant-UNIX to NT.

However, how to achieve this between NT systems ?
Has anybody gotten this to work ?
I tried running the ssh client as Administrator but that
didn't change anything on the server side.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Norbert.
