Problem with ipfire 2.25

Networking

Good afternoon, when ipfire 2.25 starts I get an error:
“Unable to load host key” / etc / ssh / ssh_host_ecdsa_key ": invalid format.
I don’t know how to repair it, can you help me?
Thanks, Regards, Pablo

Hi,

which Core Update are you running on precisely?

Could you please post the output of ls -lah /etc/ssh/ here?

Thanks, and best regards,

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

First, you are running an i686 version of IPFire, which is insecure for reasons mentioned here and here. This might require a re-installation of IPFire using the 64 bit image or purchasing new hardware.

Second, the directory listing looks fine although it is a bit messy. Since OpenSSH complains about an invalid key, I guess a file is corrupted or was not written properly. May I ask you do undergo a backup (see here for details), re-install your system, and report back if the error persists?

Thanks, and best regards,
Peter Müller

Good morning,
We have a backup file of the configurations, every time we restore that backup there it starts to give an error. Before restoring it does not give the error.

Thanks for the help, Pablo
