invinzin21, you seem not to understand what HPAVC is trying to tell you: provide some info! To tell us "the account locks up" is fine, but how exactly is it locked up? Provide some output of "lsuser <ssh_user_account>", tell us what the "max_logins" line in /etc/security/login.defs is looking like (as i told you already), etc. Maybe its as simple as the ssh command giving the wrong password. AIX locks accounts if a maximum of failed login attempts is exeeded and they have to be unlocked by the administrator then - but that (as all the other things told to you) ARE JUST GUESSES and this is what we are left to as long as you do not show us some output of your actual system.

If you have a broken bycycle and want the mechanic to fix it you BRING IT THERE TO SHOW - you don't just call and tell the guy "yeah, well, it somehow doesn't go anymore or so".

HPAVC also asked about OS version and release level - still unanswered.

Sticking with the example above: if the poor guy on the phone is trying to find whats wrong with your bike and asks you which model it is: do you tell him "a yellow one" or do you think manufacturer, model number, year of purchase and similar information would be more useful to him?

ssh-keysign

SSH-KEYSIGN(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    SSH-KEYSIGN(8)

NAME

     ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication

SYNOPSIS

     ssh-keysign

DESCRIPTION

     ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with
     SSH protocol version 2.

     ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
     EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''.

     ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1).  See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen-
     tication.

FILES

     /etc/ssh/ssh_config
	     Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.

     /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
     /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
     /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
	     These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature.  They should be owned by root, read-
	     able only by root, and not accessible to others.  Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host-
	     based authentication is used.

     /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key-cert.pub
     /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key-cert.pub
     /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key-cert.pub
	     If these files exist they are assumed to contain public certificate information corresponding with the private keys above.

     ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8)

HISTORY

     ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
