[Ilugc] Passwordless SSH and hosts.allow

[venryuec at iitr.ernet.in]

Hi,

It seems that sshd looks if the client is given permissions  (IP-based) in hosts.allow, and then checks for further authentication.

What I required was, if the key is found in the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file, then, totally ignore /etc/hosts.allow  entry.. (if an entry for that particular IP is there...) or, in other words, grant access.

Does anyone have idea on how to realize this? am I missing some config here?

Thanks,
