SSH and RSA SecurID Agent
Hi, I have installed ACE Agent for linux on my SuSE 7.0 system. I have console, ftp and telnet access working a treat. When I try and SSH to the machine, SSH prompts me for a user password, even though my SecurID user has no password entry in /etc/shadow. If i simply press enter, I get an authentication failure. If I add a password to the user I can use SSH by entering the password and I am then prompted for the user's passcode. Is there any way that SSH can be configured not to prompt for a password if there is no password in /etc/shadow for that user? Alternatively, is there a SecurID authentication option in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file ? Naturally I would like to be able to disable telnet and only use SSH for remote access. Regards, Kelvin.
Have you thought of using RSA? But anyways if you do not want to have a password I remember there being an option like allow null passwords or something simlar to that in the sshd_config file. On Mon, 11 Dec 2000 kelvin@dubious.org wrote:
