After an upgrade I have some problems with the SSH server. Debian Etch First symptom was that I could not connect to the server with a public keyfile. I reinstalled with "apt-get remove openssh-server openssh-client openssh-blacklist" and did "aptitude purge openssh-*". I deleted the files in /home/user/.ssh, /etc/ssh and /etc/ssh2 I have now reinstalled the three packages. I suspect that I have two instances of SSH-server or something. I don't understand. All my config-files is in /etc/ssh, so I don't understand all the paths and the version in debug. Anyone knows what I should do to get back to normal?

I had two versions on the server. Removed, purged and removed some ssh-files. Then I reinstalled and generated keys, and everything is ok..
