7.4 Configuring the SSH Daemon on Each Destination Host

Some configuration of the SSH daemon may be required on the destination host. (Because this is not always the case, see Validating Correct SSH Configuration and test the changes made to this point. If the tests fail, proceed with this step and then try testing again.) Typically, this is done by editing the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file (root access needed). To verify correct configuration, see that the following attributes are set (not commented):

RSAAuthentication yes

PubkeyAuthentication yes

If configuration changes were required, the SSH daemon will need to be restarted (root access needed):

> /etc/init.d/sshd restart
