Password authentication appears to be disabled in the current OpenSSH server configuration. In order to prevent users from logging in using passwords (perhaps using only public key authentication instead) with recent versions of OpenSSH, you must disable challenge-response authentication, or else ensure that your PAM configuration does not allow Unix password file authentication. . If you disable challenge-response authentication, then users will not be able to log in using passwords. If you leave it enabled (the default answer), then the 'PasswordAuthentication no' option will have no useful effect unless you also adjust your PAM configuration in /etc/pam.d/ssh. Template: ssh/vulnerable_host_keys Type: note #flag:translate!:5 _Description: Vulnerable host keys will be regenerated Some of the OpenSSH server host keys on this system were generated with a version of OpenSSL that had a broken random number generator. As a result, these host keys are from a well-known set, are subject to brute-force attacks, and must be regenerated. . Users of this system should be informed of this change, as they will be prompted about the host key change the next time they log in. Use 'ssh-keygen -l -f HOST_KEY_FILE' after the upgrade to print the fingerprints of the new host keys. . The affected host keys are: . ${HOST_KEYS} . User keys may also be affected by this problem. The 'ssh-vulnkey' command may be used as a partial test for this. See /usr/share/doc/openssh-server/README.compromised-keys.gz for more details.
