ssh login --

[bruce]

Hi Thmoas..

Ok, but even if I'm doing some sort of key auth, why would the local
machine be able to ssh root at testServer and have the passwd prompt, but
doing the ssh root at testServer2 be granted direct access without having
any passwd prompt?

and shouldn't there be a setting to disable this?

ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no root at 1.2.3.4
 has no effect when either no/yes

thanks
