Sending "none" authentication request to the SSH server.

[Tjeu]

Hey all,

I was reading in the SSH RFC, that a SSH client may request a
"none"-Authentication-Request, as the authentication method to the server.

I was trying to find this option in my SSH, but failed. Is my version not
appropriate, or SSH implementations dont provide this feature ?

PS. My SSH: SSH Secure Shell 3.2.9 (Build 283)

Thanks,

Tjeu

"none" method is just a means to query to determine what methods the
server supports. As a response, the server sends back a method list.
Technically speaking, you can bypass authentication entirely in SSH2
by directly going to "ssh-connection" service after kex is done. But
as far as I know, Openssh doesn't support it because of the
impracticality of this in almost all real world scenarios (I could be
wrong). I am not sure about SSH.com's server.
