I am trying to get
sshd running on NT4.0 via Cygwin for a bit now. I ran into problems with
the B19/1.2.22 version for which I could find precompiled binaries. I
later installed Sergey's B20/1.2.26 port, but alas, it didn't include the RSA
authentication that I was interested in. I have since embarked upon an
effort to compile B20/1.2.26 myself. I have everything compiled. When I
attempt to start sshd on the NT system, however, I get the following error
--
error: fatal: Could
not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key. Check path and
permissions.
This file
exists. I generated it with make install originally, and have subsequently
attempted regenerating it with
ssh-keygen -b1024 -f /etc/ssh_host_key -N ''
The file (and its
companion /etc/ssh_host_key.pub) is generated as expected.
According to the
sshd source, the error is generated if the file is not found, or otherwise can't
be opened or the passphrase is not correct. Since it was generated with no
passphrase, I would have expected this to not be a problem. Also, I
regenerated the keys in the same shell from which I later attempt to run sshd,
so I would expect modes and permissions to be okay. Also, I do have the
requisite entries in /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/sshd_config,
etc.
I am pretty stuck at
this point, has anyone encountered this, or am I overlooking something? Thanks
for any help.
