Looking around the only thing I can find is in the /var/log/sshd.log:

    Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
    Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
    Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_ecdsa_key


Not sure this is related to the login problem.

What is a ecdsa key?  How do you generate it?


Regards,
Gerry
