Thanks, Will! I think we're finally getting somewhere! The
output from this:
debug2: read_server_config: filename /etc/ssh/sshd_config
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 FreeBSD-20040419
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
Then I tried doing a
"/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -t dsa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key".
Is this the right way to do it?
Probably not, because then I got:
debug2: read_server_config: filename /etc/ssh/sshd_config
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 FreeBSD-20040419
debug3: Not a RSA1 key file /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.
debug1: PEM_read_PrivateKey failed
debug1: read PEM private key done: type <unknown>
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
Doing a
"/usr/local/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key"
didn't seem to make much difference.
Any ideas what to try next? Thank you!
Regards,
DB
