Summary:                    Bug in sshd when using ed25519 keys
Description: 
Remember me reporting ed25519 keys not being generated ? 
If only I had kept my mouth shut .)

The keys get generated but they can't be used.
On setting up a fresh machine, which consequently did not have the rsa host
key,
I was not able to connect to a machine having an ed25519 hostkey.

Removing the key from the server and knownhosts, modifying
/opt/csw/sbin/sshd.smf_wrapper not to generate keys,
restarting sshd -> everything changes back to normal.

This happens for solaris clients as well as e.g. archlinux clients.

Hi Schwindt,

I just tried but wasn't able to reproduce the problem.
Could you launch the ssh daemon and the client in debug mode
("/opt/csw/sbin/sshd -d -d -d" for the daemon, ssh -v -v -v for the client)
and send me the log output when it fails ?

Thanks in advance,

Yann
