Well, I did:
$ cd /etc/ssh
$ rm ssh_host*
$ ssh-keygen -N "" -t rsa-sha2-512 -b 4096 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
$ dpkg-reconfigure openssh-server
... generates the remaining ECDSA and ED25519 ...
I would just double check that is the file being used for host keys and not something been altered on the hosts /etc/ssh/sshd_config [I banged my head on this recently so it is an off chance it might be the case.]
New host signature detected, but I still get on F33 when trying to ssh:
$ ssh -vv ...
debug1: Offering public key: /home/praiskup/.ssh/id_rsa RSA SHA256:...
debug1: send_pubkey_test: no mutual signature algorithm
...
And still -oPubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-rsa helps... Does that meant that the
ssh-keygen on Debian 9 is broken? How am I able to tell this is server or
client problem?
Pavel
sshd -d -p 2222 on the server and then see what it is saying it is doing.
look for
debug1: kex_input_ext_info: server-sig-algs=<ssh-ed25519,ssh-rsa,rsa-sha2-256,rsa-sha2-512,ssh-dss,ecdsa-sha2-nistp256,ecdsa-sha2-nistp384,ecdsa-sha2-nistp521,null>
or some similar item. also look to see what
if it has a default of ssh-rsa in its list and none of the rsa-sha2 items.. the server will try this anyway.
