Solaris 10: Cannot ssh into machine- authentication issues
Greetings!
I just managed to install Solaris 10 on a Sparc based machine. However, there might be a problem with the way ssh is configured.
I CAN ssh from the machine into another on the network (same subnet, as root), but then the newly installed machine CANNOT seem to accept incoming ssh connections properly(directed at root).
When I try to connect to this one, I get stalled right at the authentication- it keeps asking me for the password, unable to authenticate the root properly. Here is what I tried so far-
svcs network/ssh
STATE STIME FMRI
online ..... svc:/network/ssh:default
svscs -d network/ssh :default
STATE STIME FMRI
online svc:/network/loopback:default
online svc:/network/physical:default
online svc:/system/cryptosvc:default
online svc:/system/filesystem/local:default
online svc:/system/utmp:default
online svc:/system/filesysytem/autofs:default
I changed the root password multiple times, changed permissions of the root directory to 755, without any change to the situation.
I'd really appreciate some help at this point.
Thank you in advance,
Ag

ssh-keysign
SSH-KEYSIGN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SSH-KEYSIGN(8)
NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for hostbased 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 hostbased authentication with
SSH protocol version 2.
ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting
HostbasedAuthentication 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 hostbased authen-
tication.
FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config
Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled.
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_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 hostbased
authentication is used.

HISTORY
ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2.
