Re: openssh/openssl

Somehow you have to get host b to trust host a. ssh and sshd can use /etc/hosts.equiv and ~/.rhosts just like rlogin. But you still have the problem of getting these in place before you run your script. I have not used this method. You might need to generate the host keys but I'm not sure of that either.

I see in my sshd_config file an option named PermitEmptyPasswords. If it is an option to set up an initial account with no password, you might explore that path as well.

Also, it might be better to ask this on a ssh specific forum or mailing list.

If you want, send me a private message with your email address and we can collaborate quicker that way. I still have more questions as to what and why you are trying to do.
