Broken openssh-server monitor on Debian 9
Issue #645
closed
The default openssh-server monitor has a dependency on a check that ensures that the server has a DSA key configured.
That is not the case on a fresh Debian 9 installation (with monit 5.20.0-6 installed from apt), so the check fails.
As a result openssh-server is stopped when first activating this monitor which means the administrator can be locked out of the serveur because of this.
On my Debian 9 server, I just disabled the DSA key check in the monit script for openssh-server.

Please can you post your monit configuration?
Monit's ssh protocol check doesn't check any keys.
