Hi Dmitri, I tried that and it's not working. I even went into Cygwin and tried to manually start sshd from in there and it's giving me the following error messages:
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_rsa_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting. When I check in etc, there are files for the host keys but they're empty now. When I check the sshd log there's a bunch of entries showing that it matched host keys and then three sets of "no host keys available" at the bottom of the log (presumably from my last three attempts to start sshd beginning with the reload). Can I just run the cywin-sshd-config.sh again on the vm and then run the gen-node-key again on the management node? It's already been captured so I'm not sure if that would cause havoc.
