openssh-6.6p1 does not create ed25519 host key file
Hello,
I just upgraded my Slackware 14.1 installation with the latest patches. I updated my sshd_config file and stopped ssh via rc.sshd. Then I wanted to start it and it said: Code:
Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key Code:
if [ ! -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key ]; then Regards lems PS: I noticed I had no rc.sshd.new file, even though there is one in the package. Though looking at rc.sshd.new of openssh-6.6p1, it seemed unchanged from my old one. |
It appears the 14.1 OpenSSH 6.6 packages have a slight bug. Their rc.sshd did not get upgraded with the ed25519 key creation code.
The 14.0 updates are fine, however. --mancha |
It would be much better to replace the whole block of code in rc.sshd which generates missing host keys with this single line:
Code:
ssh-keygen -A |
