SSH Out of the Box Install Trouble

Hi

I've got a SSH problem. Out of the box, I cannot login. It gives me an ssh_identification error. My best guess is that it has something to do with keys. I ran a -vv on the ssh client and he was spitting out -1 on all the keys in my homedir. And there were none of course. Is there a way to regenerate the whole ssh keys for protocol 2 in the /etc/ssh/ and also to create from scratch keys in my home directory?

If you are running sshd as a daemon, you have to add this line to your /etc/hosts.allow file

sshd: ALL

then do an /etc/rc.d/sshd restart and see if you can log in.

Re: SSH Out of the Box Install Trouble

This time it does not mention in the debug mode of ssh any key files, however it refuses the connection. Stoped and Restarted the server and it gave me the following error:

Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key

So I guess it might still be a ssh key problem.
