> OpenSSH did generate all the nessecary keys and config files upon > installation; Errm, no it didn't. Hence the error message: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key I've recently upgrated to OpenSSH_3.0.2p1 on about 20 boxen, and had the same problem. From /usr/local/etc/sshd_config: # HostKey for protocol version 1 HostKey /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key # HostKeys for protocol version 2 HostKey /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key HostKey /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key The file /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key is an RSA key, but it's not the correct format for SSH2. So do this: ssh-keygen -t rsa -N "" -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key Or comment out the ssh_host_rsa_key entry. -- TTFN, FNORD Peter McGarvey System Administrator Network Operations, VIA Networks UK To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
