did you restart the ssh daemon correctly?

[sachinh]

can u log onto the remote machine if u went to it and tried logging in?

Since you had a crash of your system, it might be so that your /etc/ssh/ssh_host* files been corrupt.
Maybe you should take a look into those.
And as another question above, are you able to logon localy at this server with this same user?

Ok here is the reply ,


I cant login to this machine locally also i.e. via SSH . It gives same error . Also I can login to another remote machine via SSH but if i try to login back to this machine via SSH, same error .
Ok the files must be corrupted but then how can i restore them ? .
Waiting for your reply .

I think he meant without ssh, just using standard login procedures.

Yes i can certainly login to machine thru console .
