What exactly causes the error message "Could not load host key"? I guess I will have to look at the source code tomorrow...
look in the sshd_config, you need these lines
# HostKeys for protocol version 2 HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
Robert - did this work for you? I upgraded SuSE 7.3 with their 2.9.9p2 rpm and also have these lines in here -- it is working fine. I made one change 9c9,10 < Protocol 1,2 ---
#Protocol 1,2 Protocol 2
In general, I suggest using your favorite compare utility to compare sshd_config and sshd_config.rpmnew and make a judgement on the value of the rpm package defaults. Below is a typical protocol 2 log from putty to my SuSE sshd.
