Cannot start ssh server

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Networking
1

Hello,

There is a problem to start the ssh server in the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11-SP3, as follows. I have searched solutions, but I couldn’t find one yet. Please let me know any advice.

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

Starting SSH daemon /usr/sbin/sshd: symbol lookup error: /usr/sbin/sshd: undefined symbol: FIPS_mode
startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/sshd: 127

Thanks!
Jae

Which patches do you have on the system, in particular with regard to the
openssl and openssh packages? When did this break, and what preceded it
breaking in terms of things you (or others) did on the system?

My SLES 11 SP3 x86_64 systems, with various patch levels, all work.

Good luck.

The ssh server have not started after installing a group of patches. I didn’t write down the list of the patches… (to my shame…) but I believe the patches include openssh, libopenssl, openssl, etc.

The versions of the patches are as follows.

openssh version: 6.2p2-0.21.1
openssh-askpass version: 6.2p2-0.21.1

libopenssl0_9_8 version: 0.9.8x-9.1.5
libopenssl1_0_0 version: 1.0.1i-2.1.4

openssl version: 1.0.1i-2.1.4
openssl-certs version: 1.97-0.3.1

Are there any incompatibilities between them?

Thanks!
Jae

Hi Jae,

never be ashamed of not doing something, when your computer does it for you: /var/log/zypp/history :slight_smile:

Another option is see the order of installed things on your box:

rpm -qa --last | less

Good luck.
