I setup a vServer with ubuntu 12.04.02 LTS last week using the image that my provider has supplied and I get the same error reported from logwatch.
"error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key" Looking at the /etc/ssh I only see: ssh_config sshd_config ssh_host_dsa_key ssh_host_dsa_key.pub ssh_host_key ssh_host_key.pub ssh_host_rsa_key ssh_host_rsa_key.pub Strange enough I did not notice any problems not having the ecdsa key except the message from logwatch. So what is it needed for anyway? Nevertheless I created the ecdsa key using ssh-keygen -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key -N '' -t ecdsa to get rid of the message. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1005440 Title: "Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key" when connecting To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/1005440/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
