SSH's cryptographic host-based authentication is
more secure than '.rhosts' authentication. However, it is
not recommended that hosts unilaterally trust one another, even
within an organization.
To disable host-based authentication, add or correct the
following line in '/etc/ssh/sshd_config':
'HostbasedAuthentication no'
Parameter:
[no/yes]
Technical Mechanism:
SSH trust relationships mean a compromise on one host
can allow an attacker to move trivially to other hosts.
