My SSH install notes. YMMV. Good luck
Do the following on all your machines so you can go back and forth as needed.
Install RPMs openssh-server and openssh-clients
Add the following line to /etc/hosts.allow
sshd 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 (using your network of course)
Create the file /et/ssh/shosts.equiv as follows (using your hostnames of course)
hostname1
hostname1.domain
hostname2
hostname2.domain
etc. etc.
% chmod 644 /etc/ssh/shosts.equiv
Make sure the file /etc/ssh/sshd_config contains the following line:
HostbasedAuthentication yes
% chmod 600 /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Restart sshd by running '/etc/init.d/sshd restart'
Make sure the file /etc/ssh/ssh_config contains the following lines:
Host *
ForwardX11 yes
HostbasedAuthentication yes
EnableSSHKeysign yes
% chmod 644 /etc/ssh/ssh_config
Create /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts with the RSA public keys from
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub on all machines
% chmod 644 /etc/ssh/ssh_known_hosts
Remove rsh RPM
Create symlinks:
/usr/bin/rsh->ssh, /usr/bin/rcp->scp, /usr/bin/rlogin->slogin
Make sure firewall is open (port 22)
