All,

I have a small fileserver that has been running 10.3 for a couple of months. I have easy physical access, but I normally ssh into it.

Today I tried and it is failing to accept me. sshd is not even running on the server!!!

When I try to start it I get:

# rcsshd start Starting SSH daemonDisabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting. startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/sshd: 1 failed

I assume I need to create a host key, but I don't know where it is kept on SuSE (10.3)

Explicit (cut & paste) instructions appreciated.

What does "ls -l /etc/ssh/" look like?

# ls -l /etc/ssh/* -rw------- 1 root root 132839 2007-12-12 08:55 /etc/ssh/moduli -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2641 2008-02-13 14:16 /etc/ssh/ssh_config -rw-r----- 1 root root 3677 2008-02-13 14:12 /etc/ssh/sshd_config -rw------- 1 root root 668 2007-07-25 14:29 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 603 2007-07-25 14:29 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub -rw------- 1 root root 528 2007-07-25 14:29 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 332 2007-07-25 14:29 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key.pub -rw------- 1 root root 883 2007-07-25 14:29 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 223 2007-07-25 14:29 /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub

Anders, do you want me to just delete the above and let it regen the keys/

I just noticed the config files were modified a couple weeks ago. I'm not the only one with admin rights, so I assume someone else messed them up. Can I just uninstall sshd and reinstall, or is there a better way to get the conf fiels back to default.
