ssh- cannot load host key
Hi all,
I am fairly new to using SSH, and I was wondering if anyone may be able
to help me with a problem. For some reason I am not able to ssh into my
home machine from any other location. When I try, I get the following
message:
Secure connection to satchel1.dyndns.org refused.
I can rlogin, but when I try to restart sshd, I get the following
message:
satchel[/home/jake]% /etc/init.d/ssh start
Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshdDisabling protocol version 2.
Could not load host key
Below is the contents of my sshd_config file:

Because I am new at this, I am not sure what other information may be
useful to the members on the list. If anyone has any ideas, of if more
info is needed, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Jake
