 |
|
Hi, Im pretty new to ssh, and I've just set-up ssh, or I think I did. But when I run | Code: | | # /etc/init.d/sshd start |
I always get this: | Code: | root@gollum tux # /etc/init.d/sshd start
* Starting sshd...
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting. [ !! ] |
I've already generated keys in /etc/ssh/:
| Code: | root@gollum tux # ls -la /etc/ssh
total 136
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 16 10:52 .

# The strategy used for options in the default sshd_config shipped with
# OpenSSH is to specify options with their default value where
# possible, but leave them commented. Uncommented options change a

| Did you generate the keys in /etc/ssh manually? I'm not positive, but I think the sshd init script does it for you automatically the first time you start the daemon. If you did it manually, did you assign a passphrase? If so, that may be your problem. Regenerate the keys with no passphrase. |
