Topic: SSH stopped working

[Kobus]

Hi Everyone

Lastnight I ran the latest update which was really just a clamav update. After the reboot the ssh daemon stopped working. Trying to restart it manually gives the following:

/etc/ssh/sshd_config: line 21: Bad configuration option: UsePAM
/etc/ssh/sshd_config: line 30: Bad configuration option: MaxAuthTries
/etc/ssh/sshd_config: terminating, 2 bad configuration options

Checked this server with another and all seems to be the same.

I had a look at bugtracker but nothing in there about this. All dsa and rsa keys looks good.

Please can anybody help.

Thanks

Kobus

Already checked and tried same error

[okepc]

tried?
signal-event post-upgrade and then signal-event reboot?

[Kobus]

yip tried that

[Kobus]

Just in case i tried
mv /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key  /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.orig
and mv /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub  /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub.orig
then /etc/init.d/sshd start

On a test server this works fine and it generates then starts sshd but on the
broken production server it says FAILED and gives me the same error message
with what I started with.

Is there any chance that this server could be comprimised?
Through web applications?

No.

Only runs email.

This only occurred after the reboot after the clamav update.
