SSH on hp seervice guard configuration

[Blake Williford_1]

Hello hpux world.

I am looking for a SSH configuration that will allow hostbased and public key authentication. I am able to configure this on a stand-alone server. A hp Service Guard configuration is a little trickier. When the user does say a:

scp user1@service1 uptime

With service1 on node1, the user gets the uptime from server1. But if the Service / Package fails over to server2 the host key changes and generates a warning message, requiring the user to answer yes or no, then the user gets the uptime from server2.

The problem is with cron jobs sending commands from one system to another. SSH then generates unexpected text, and the cron jobs are not smart enough to answer ?yes?.

Any one find a solution to this?

It is my knee jerk reaction that there might be something to configure in the /home/user1/.ssh2/ssh2_config or ~/.ssh2/sshd2_config files. I thought I would get some one else?s experience on this issue first.

Suggestions?

Thank you for your time.
