title: 'Disable Host-Based Authentication'
description: |-
SSH's cryptographic host-based authentication is
more secure than <tt>.rhosts</tt> authentication. However, it is
not recommended that hosts unilaterally trust one another, even
within an organization.
<br />
The default SSH configuration disables host-based authentication. The appropriate
configuration is used if no value is set for <tt>HostbasedAuthentication</tt>.
<br />
To explicitly disable host-based authentication, add or correct the
following line in
{{{ sshd_config_file() }}}
<pre>HostbasedAuthentication no</pre>
rationale: |-
SSH trust relationships mean a compromise on one host
can allow an attacker to move trivially to other hosts.
