Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Having a fresh installation of netopeer2-server, when I connect to it I see (or something similar):

[ERR]: LN: Failed to set hostkey "genkey" (/tmp/dvcjwz).

A: You are using libssh that was compiled with gcrypt library as the crypto backend. It does not support default SSH keys generated during netopeer2-server installation. To fix, disable suport for this backend when compiling libssh so that some other one is used.

Q: When a new NETCONF session is being created, I see the error:

Starting the SSH session failed ()

A: The most likely reason for this is that the SSH key that is used for this session authentication uses an algorithm not supported by your system. The supported algorithms are automatically loaded by libssh from OpenSSH configuration files (more info in ssh_config(5) and sshd_config(5)).
