I sent this last Friday, but didn't receive any replies. Since then, I haven't had any luck resolving the issue, so I'm trying again.
If anyone has any ideas on how I can get SSH2 to start working again, I'd appreciate it. --kurt ---------- Reposted Message ---------- After a recent apt-get upgrade on a woody box, I am unable to use version 2 of ssh. (v1 and 1.5 seem to work fine) When starting sshd, I get the following error message: "Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key" Googling suggests that I need to recreate ssh_host_*_key, so, I did: ssh-keygen -t dsa and ssh-keygen -t rsa making sure that both of the resulting key pairs now reside in: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_<rsa/dsa>_key and ensured that the permission are correct. (all files are root r/w. .pub files are world readable.) However, i still get this problem. I've tried explicitly entering the path ot the keys in the sshd_config file: HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key (and the corresponding entry for dsa) but that doesn't help, either. My daemon.log and syslog don't show any pertinent entries. Starting /usr/sbin/sshd -d -d results in the following: debug1: Seeding random number generator debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_2.9p2 debug1: private host key: #0 type 0 RSA1 Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key debug1: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0. Server listening on 0.0.0.0 port 22. Generating 768 bit RSA key. RSA key generation complete. I'm not terribly familiar with the inner workings of ssh, so I'm assuming I'm doing something obviously wrong. Can anyone help? --kurt -------------------------------------------------------
