It looks like someone has installed the ssh2 package on this machine (using "pkg_add -r ssh2"). So this is not a standard freebsd ssh installation. In fact, testing on another box with freebsd 6, I can connect with Putty using public key authentication. Does anyone know how to get the standard ssh to work on this machine without upsetting things too much? It is currently running a mail server and cvs, so I'm ginger about doing anything radical on it. Doing a ps -ax shows that it's sshd2 that is running, and not sshd. But the binaries ARE there for sshd. Except the=20 hostkey doesn't seem to be there. Could fixing this be as simple=20 as creating a hostkey for sshd as well, and running it on a=20 different port than sshd2 is running on? Thank you!
