Re: openssh 2.5.1p1 - protocol 2 disabled could not load host key

[ernst . molitor]

Hi, 

suppose the same problem has struck me - for me, correction of the
sshd_config file solved it. The "make install" will (quite correctly,
IMHO) not overwrite a sshd_config from a previous version of OpenSSH, 
so chances are that the line that points to the host key for protocol 2, 
something like

          HostKey /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key

will be missing from the configuration file. Using a properly modified
config file, OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 works like a charm on the boxes I'm taking
care of...

Regards,

Ernst
