Thanks, Clayton!
It looks like someone has installed the ssh2 package on this machine
(using "pkg_add -r ssh2"). So this is not a standard freebsd ssh
installation. In fact, testing on another box with freebsd 6, I
can connect with Putty using public key authentication. Does
anyone know how to get the standard ssh to work on this machine
without upsetting things too much? It is currently running a
mail server and cvs, so I'm ginger about doing anything radical
on it. Doing a ps -ax shows that it's sshd2 that is running, and
not sshd. But the binaries ARE there for sshd. Except the
hostkey doesn't seem to be there. Could fixing this be as simple
as creating a hostkey for sshd as well, and running it on a
different port than sshd2 is running on?
Thank you!
Regards,
DB
