You should call TAC and your SE/AM as well to insure they capture what
happened to avoid this defect in the future. You may also be able to
entirely disable/restart the SSH subsystem, or at least make sure they
have the ability to restart it. If Cisco doesn't make progress on
this front, I'm not sure how they will continue to survive. The
internet of 2000 and later really needs protected memory and
restartable processes instead of the old tech support "have you turned
it off and back on again" policy of dealing with defects. While that
has a place, certainly this is not one of them.

Hi Ryan/Paul-
Not without scheduling a maintenance window which I was hoping to
avoid. I am sure a reload would fix the problem as i'd also use it
as an opportunity to upgrade the code since I am a half dozen revs
behind and have switches running newer versions without any
stability issues.

That is very strange.... are you able to kick the switch (power
cycle) to see if it resolves or not? I know you shouldn't have to
but I'm out of answers too ;)

Hi Paul-
The funny thing is this is the only switch causing problems. We
changed the hostnames on over a dozen others without any issues.
I tried re-generating the keys to no avail.

Normally all we do is a "crypto key gen rsa" if a hostname changes
and we
continue on... this regens the keys and stops/starts the SSH
process....

Subject: [c-nsp] SSH no longer functions after hostname change
Hello-
We recently changed some of our hostnames on various legacy switches
to
follow our naming convention, and after one change I can no longer
SSH to
the switch.
I get the below errors on the console with debug ip ssh client
running:
Aug 10 11:23:44 EST: SSH5: sent protocol version id SSH-2.0-Cisco-1.25
Aug 10 11:23:44 EST: SSH5: protocol version id is - SSH-2.0-
OpenSSH_4.3
Aug 10 11:23:44 EST: SSH2 5: RSA_sign: private key not found
Aug 10 11:23:44 EST: SSH2 5: signature creation failed, status -1
Aug 10 11:23:44 EST: SSH5: Session disconnected - error 0x00
I zero'ized the old keys and re-generated as well as set the
hostname back
to the original and zero'ized and re-generated to no avail. Nothing
shows
up on Google and I can find no errata related to SSH access on the
version
of code we are running.
Has anyone encountered this before? This is a 3750 running
12.2(44)SE2
