NAME
       Net::SSH::Perl::Auth::Rhosts_RSA - Perform Rhosts-RSA authentication

SYNOPSIS
	   use Net::SSH::Perl::Auth;
	   my $auth = Net::SSH::Perl::Auth->new('Rhosts_RSA', $ssh);
	   print "Valid auth" if $auth->authenticate;

DESCRIPTION
       Net::SSH::Perl::Auth::Rhosts_RSA performs Rhosts with RSA
       authentication with a remote sshd server. This is standard Rhosts
       authentication, plus a challenge-response phase where the server RSA-
       authenticates the client based on its host key. When you create a new
       Rhosts_RSA auth object, you give it an $ssh object, which should
       contain an open connection to an ssh daemon, as well as any data that
       the authentication module needs to proceed. In this case, the $ssh
       object must contain the name of the user trying to open the connection.

       Note that the sshd server will require two things from your client:

       1. Privileged Port
	   sshd will require your client to be running on a privileged port
	   (below 1024); this will, in turn, likely require your client to be
	   running as root. If your client is not running on a privileged
	   port, the Rhosts-RSA authentication request will be denied.

	   If you're running as root, Net::SSH::Perl should automatically
	   detect that and try to start up on a privileged port. If for some
	   reason that isn't happening, take a look at the Net::SSH::Perl
	   docs.

       2. Private Host Key
	   In order to do RSA-authentication on your host key, your client
	   must be able to read the host key. This will likely be impossible
	   unless you're running as root, because the private host key file
	   (/etc/ssh_host_key) is readable only by root.

       With that aside, to use Rhosts-RSA authentication the client sends a
       request to the server to authenticate it, including the name of the
       user trying to authenticate, as well as the public parts of the host
       key. The server first ensures that the host can be authenticated using
       standard Rhosts authentication (shosts.equiv, hosts.equiv, etc.).  If
       the client passes this test, the server sends an encrypted challenge to
       the client. The client must decrypt this challenge using its private
       host key, then respond to the server with its response.

       Once the response has been sent, the server responds with success or
       failure.
