Hello,
I am getting a connection refused trying to ssh into the machine after the update.
Have restarted sshd numerous times per this thread, but no joy.
Is there anything else I can check?
New(ish) here. Please let me know if this should be posted elsewhere. Thanks.
This indicates the service is not running.
systemctl status sshd
A service can be started - then it runs until system restart - and will not start automagically.
A service which is enabled will resume operation after restart.
To make sshd resume operation
sudo systemctl enable sshd
To start the service in same command
sudo systemctl enable sshd --now
I moved this to a new topic as suggested as you may get better attention this way.
What you might need to do is flush the (bad) SSH keys.
Check e.g. cat ~/.ssh/known_hosts (don’t post those results here!) and see if you can spot and remove the “offending” keys; you could also mv (rename) the file and generate new keys as needed.
It’s been a while since I’ve needed to do this but worth a try, if my memory serves me correctly.
Hi there,
Many thanks! Backed up then cleared known_hosts, and it’s working.
Thanks again.
