Usage Information

If you enable this command, clients can log in without a password prompt. This command provides two levels of authentication:

rhost-authentication is done with the file specified in the ip ssh rhostfile command.
checking client host-keys is done with the file specified in the ip ssh pub-key-file command.

NOTE: Administrators must specify the two files ( rhosts and pub-key-file) to configure host-based authentication.
