sshd wont start after first reboot. firstly it works for me…but then...I add then remove it to "service watchdog" then sshd wont go up even through services applet. So i remove it from watchdog (clear all wtchdog list). But still cant start it again, even if i enable/disable few times through web interface. :'( I've sended few crashes to devs, here is one last:

Crash report begins. Anonymous machine information:

amd64
10.1-RC3
FreeBSD 10.1-RC3 #38 3ed8b80(releng/10.1)-dirty: Fri Oct 24 12:25:53 CDT 2014 root@pf22-amd64-snap:/usr/obj.amd64/usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/pfSense_SMP.10

Crash report details:

PHP Errors:
[25-Oct-2014 08:44:55 Europe/Moscow] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /etc/sshd on line 130
[25-Oct-2014 08:45:16 Europe/Moscow] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare byte_convert() (previously declared in /usr/local/pkg/phpservice.inc:52) in /usr/local/pkg/backup.inc on line 43
[25-Oct-2014 08:48:12 Europe/Moscow] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /etc/sshd on line 130

Hope you can find what it is ;D I am going to sleep now. Still, I tried most of the packages and they are mostly work out for me, but any of squid :o….nvm it is BETA, so even though i glad to send few crash reports. Could you implement some automatic crash sending thing into pfsense 2.2 or next version? Cause i think automatic sending is way more better then manual and probably much more reliable.

/etc/sshd master version in GitHub does not look like it has any mis-matched {} pairs, and no } at line 130.
What is actually in your /etc/sshd?
(Diagnostics->Edit file)

I am not edit any files, just add some services to the installed packet called "service watchdog" then delete all services for relaunch on the list of watch dog, so it is clear write now. Maybe some of my packages also can interfere with my configs, but since I reboot my system first time ssh work as intended for me. Maybe I just need to reset my box after 2.1.5 -> 2.2 RC-3 update to fix this behaviour? Just waiting for some advices ;D Anyway, this is home box so no worries about it, I can anytime switch my screen to the box through my D-link KVM switch and access all options locally. So if you have any ideas i will gladly listen to your tips, but I am not a professional programmer and look like a dumb cow on these code :D

Your /etc/sshd file is a little different to the official distribution.

Line 123 has been added:

   if(file_exists("/etc/ssh/sshd_extra")){$sshconf.=file_get_contents("/etc/ssh/sshd_extra");}

And line 128 and 129 are missing:

	if (file_exists("/etc/sshd_extra")) {
		$fdExtra = fopen("/etc/sshd_extra", 'r');

Those missing lines cause a missing opening "{" and thus the error about an unexpected "}" further down.
What happened to cause this file to be edited?

Anyway, you can fix it up again by:
a) Go to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pfsense/pfsense/master/etc/sshd to see the text of the file on GitHub. Select and copy the text.
b) On the WebGUI of pfSense, Diagnostics->Edit, bring up /etc/sshd, select all the text, paste the good text from GitHub, save.

Or upgrade to the next snapshot, that should overwrite everything, including /etc/sshd, with the correct code.

Well. it is edited by some package interfering with ssh, I don't remember what exactly the name of it, to be honest yesterday I've install way too many packages to try it out, then some of them doing mess with my configuration. Even resetting to factory defaults doesn't help, so I try to copy/paste conf file from github ;D Thank you for your answers I appreciate your help :D

Yapp! It's running perfectly now

phil.davis

It would be good to find out what package is doing the editing - because it is going to screw up with different versions of /etc/sshd
If you have a package suspect in mind, mention it.
Edit, add: the suspect was not hard to find - sshdcond package has code that edit /etc/sshd
https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages/blob/master/config/sshdcond/sshdcond.inc
The master version of /etc/sshd was modified by:
https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense/commit/5a89049022022e98f745ccb1eba51b7f438f6fe7
In particular, it did:

- if(file_exists("/etc/sshd_extra"))
- {
+ if (file_exists("/etc/sshd_extra")) {

That put the "{" on the same line as the "if" and made a big difference to the result of the editing done by sshdcond.

Thanks for doing it for me, I look into this code now trying to understand what's wrong with it ::), seems you are right here, these package has almost ruin my life yesterday ;D

Yepp now I see this piece of code:

Thank you for reporting bug for me, I've just installed these package to try if it extend/enhance in some way functionality as it written in package info: "Allows to define SSH overrides for users,groups,hosts and addresses using Match in a convenient way. This package acts as an access list frontend for ssh connections", but it seems digging in alpha/beta packages is not for me to deal with. I'm trying to stay out of it using most of released or stable packages next time :P Even though half of the packages I've tried to install yesterday report missing digital signature message, so it has to be fixed sometime late when 2.2 is prepared for release. Also my thoughts is for adding some functionality to package installation process, some marks that desired to install package does not met system requirements or can break something on the main distribution when installed :-X or some option to hide all unstable testing packages using some filtering with parameters like "platform & status", which is could potentially grow performance when showing up a list of packages even though they can be now sorted out by categories . Cause tabs it's a good idea, but it's not enough here in package manager to filter pbi packets that you need/want to install on your system. Hope we see some changes in that way in the future.

Renato committed some fixes for this today. The bug https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/3959 is now in Feedback. Since I don't actually use this package, it is a bit hard for me to really verify that it works OK now.
If anyone is using sshdcond I suggest you update to latest snap and latest package version and then report back on the Redmine bug to say if it now works OK.

I am having same issue.. was loving the updates in 2.2 cause ssh would run till I rebooted or lost power. But now since no more updates as I am on 1/16 RC 64 bit and that is last I see till 2.2 release I will have to wait till 2.2 release to have ssh back and only till I reboot again ?

You're not having the same issue. This thread was about a long-ago fixed issue with SSH host key generation in some circumstances. There are no known issues along these lines since, and any that do exist wouldn't be relevant to this thread. Please start a new thread with specifics of what you're seeing, as it's definitely completely unrelated to this thread.
