[sshd] can't start sshd

[diver]

When i try to start sshd from Terminal i get the following message:

Could not load host key: /boot/home/config/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
Could not load host key: /boot/home/config/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.

cat /boot/beos/etc/passwd

sshd:x:1001:100:sshd user:/var/empty:/bin/true
baron:x:0:0:Diver:/boot/home:/bin/bash

That sounds like what happens if you have no image host name set. Assuming you're building your own, add something like:

HAIKU_IMAGE_HOST_NAME = test ;

To your UserBuildConfig.

[diver]

cat build/jam/UserBuildConfig | grep ROOT HAIKU_ROOT_USER_REAL_NAME = Diver ;

It has been added month ago.

It's about the host name though, not the root user.

[diver]

Yeah, my bad. Would be nice if HAIKU_IMAGE_HOST_NAME would be set to some default value (baron?) if not overriden by user.

[diver]

This should be closed as invalid.

This still seems to be a problem in R1 alpha1: After generating the rsa/dsa hostkeys I get the exact error above.

Please try again with a build newer the hrev33509, as that may have fixed this again.

I think it was not "broken" because worked for me already about 3-4 month. The things to check:

1) The access rights for the key files - only owner should can read and write them;

2) Host files must be generated with correct options:

ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /boot/common/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /boot/common/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key

3) Password for the user must be set to non-empty - just use "passwrd" command to changing it from default empty one to something meaningful.

Hope it helps. :-)

This one could probably be closed.
