SSH connection issue after SSH Keys config

[fred974]

Hello,

I made some changed to my FreeBSD 8.3 box.
I set SSH Keys and SSH-Agent. And at first it worked ok but when I restarted sshd(8), I get

srv-web# service sshd restart
Stopping sshd.
SELECT ssh_host_key from services_ssh: not found
SELECT ssh_host_key_pub from services_ssh: not found
SELECT ssh_host_dsa_key from services_ssh: not found
SELECT ssh_host_dsa_key_pub from services_ssh: not found
SELECT ssh_host_ecdsa_key from services_ssh: not found
SELECT ssh_host_ecdsa_key_pub from services_ssh: not found
SELECT ssh_host_rsa_key from services_ssh: not found
SELECT ssh_host_rsa_key_pub from services_ssh: not found
Starting sshd.

And now am unable to ssh login to the box.

Could you please help me to fix this issue.

I already checked the files it's complaining about and they are all in /etc/ssh

srv-web# cd /etc/ssh
srv-web# ls
moduli                  ssh_host_dsa_key        ssh_host_key            ssh_host_rsa_key        sshd_config
ssh_config              ssh_host_dsa_key.pub    ssh_host_key.pub        ssh_host_rsa_key.pub

That SELECT message is unfamiliar. This may be a customization specific to FreeNAS and not FreeBSD. Have you asked in the FreeNAS forums?

That SELECT message is unfamiliar. This may be a customization specific to FreeNAS and not FreeBSD.

Moreover, I couldn't find any reference to it anywhere in /usr/src/crypto/openss[hl]/. I suspect that FreeNAS uses either FreeNAS-specific modifications, as suggested by @wblock@, or maybe even a completely different SSH implementation.

Perhaps FreeNAS uses security/pam_mysql? Or some other PAM module with a database backend? The "SELECT .... FROM ...." looks distinctly like SQL.

Well, this error that I get is not on FreeNAS but my FreeBSD jail. Sorry for the confusion, i didn't realized i typed in the wrong title. My ssh connection was working ok. I followed the tutorial below and since then I cannot restart sshd. I even rolled back all, the changes
