sshd: Could not load host key

[Description]

root@slitaz:/etc/ssh# /usr/sbin/sshd

Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key

Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key

sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.

 

[Solution]

sudo ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ""

 

[Note]

Letting the passphrase null(-N ""), otherwise sshd can't load them even if key exists!
