I updated ssh and some other packages from unstable today, and when it
installed, and also when my machine boots, I get the message:
Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd/etc/ssh/sshd_config line 53:
Deprecated option Checkmail
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
and indeed when I try to use the putty ssh client from Windows to log
into the machine, I ask for ssh2 but it falls back to ssh1.
To get rid of the first message I commented off this line in
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:
CheckMail no
changed to
#CheckMail no
and added a second line for the ssh2 host key. I started with:
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
and changed it to:
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
If I only use ssh_host_dsa_key, then ssh1 is disabled. I would prefer
to only use ssh2, but I think there is only an ssh1 client available for
classic Mac OS (NiftyTelnet SSH)
I have debian powerpc unstable installed on my Macintosh 8500.
