            Bug ID: 203363
           Summary: sshd fails to start
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.1-RELEASE
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: alan.cummings at gmail.com

When I run /usr/sbin/sshd -t I get this:
> /usr/sbin/sshd -t
bad addr or host: :: (hostname nor servname provided, or not known)

I have tried rebooting and changing the hostname. The result is the same
whether the -t flag is present or not. Other services (nginx, webmin) still
work. The sshd service used to work until about a day ago. There have been
changes to the networking, such as switching from fixed IP to DHCP, moving to a
DMZ, but no new ports or packages shave been installed recently.

If I try to start as a service, I get this:
> service sshd start
Performing sanity check on sshd configuration.
bad addr or host: :: (hostname nor servname provided, or not known)
/etc/rc.d/sshd: WARNING: failed precmd routine for sshd

The output of uname -a:
> uname -a
FreeBSD darkbsd-1 10.1-RELEASE-p6 FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p6 #0: Tue Feb 24
