Hi. I can't seem to start sshd on a new server installation. Evidently it has something to do with new Elliptic Curve cryptography support, but I'm not sure what it is I am supposed to do about it.

Code:
(error message when starting /etc/init.d/sshd)
 * Generating ecdsa host key ...ssh-keygen: symbol lookup error: ssh-keygen: undefined symbol: EC_KEY_new_by_curve_name
 [ !! ]
 * ERROR: sshd failed to start

(options set in /etc/ssh/sshd_config)
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
PasswordAuthentication yes
UsePAM yes
PrintMotd no
PrintLastLog no
Subsystem   sftp   /usr/lib/misc/sftp-server

does revdep-rebuild -p happen to show anything interesting?

seems it's looking for a non-existent symbol in one of the shared libraries it's using.
may well just be the case you need to re-merge net-misc/openssh

Rebuilding openssh seems to have fixed the problem, as now I can start sshd. The elog records:
Code:

LOG: postinst
Starting with openssh-5.8p1, the server will default to a newer key
algorithm (ECDSA).  You are encouraged to manually update your stored
keys list as servers update theirs.  See ssh-keyscan(1) for more info.
WARN: postinst
Remember to merge your config files in /etc/ssh/ and then
reload sshd: '/etc/init.d/sshd reload'.
Please be aware users need a valid shell in /etc/passwd
in order to be allowed to login.
