Description Lucian Musat 2015-12-16 10:06:25 UTC 
Built a qemux86-64 on the master from a couple of days ago (b3d6872bf169a13e572638e3809c50a868246616) and observed that the ssh wasn't working because it could not load the keys at start-up apparently because of an invalid format.

I don't suppose you still have this image?
Comment 2 Ross Burton 2016-02-11 14:45:07 UTC 
This is odd and I've not seen it before.  Did this happen again or was this a one-time failure?
Comment 3 Stephen K Jolley 2016-02-16 17:30:59 UTC 
I a pulling this out of NEEDINFO since Lucian's e-mail address is no longer valid.  Ross, if you still need information, put it back into NEEDINFO and assign it to someone who might answer.
