Alright, performed a command line install using --reinstall.

It pulled the deb, asked me for a password, but then said:

chpasswd: can't lock password file.

Then it created some SSH keys.
Then said:

useradd: unable to lock password file

Afterwards, I tried to ssh localhost again and failed. Doesn't appear to be working still.

ls -al /etc/ | grep passwd

The passwd file exists. What do you want to know about it?

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1003 Jan 13 10:27 /etc/passwd

there should be a few .lock files in there... shadow.lock, passwd.lock, and group.lock.

They need to be removed...

Short of this... check your root filesize usage... it might be full.

there is a "passwd. lock" (yes, with the space)

Not sure how to remove it

It has a space?? Wow FUBAR'd.

Code:
rm /etc/passwd.\ lock
Also:
Code:
ls -al /etc/ | grep lock
If there are any of the others.. remove them too. After you remove it.. uninstall openssh-server and install it again.

Re: Need help cleaning up OpenSSH server install.
 
Hi I have a similar problem however I have the following in /etc/

(passwd-) this is -rw-------
(passwd) this is -rw-r--r--

and I can't SSH into the N900 from my linux machine

the SSH daemon is up and able to bring the RSA fingerprint and not really sure where its going wrong.

Edit: Should I remove these and reinstall?

Re: Need help cleaning up OpenSSH server install.
 
Nono.. don't remove the passwd file ;). That's quite important.

The passwd- can be ignored as well.

Your problem does not appear to be the same... can you run:
Code:
ssh root@localhost
From your N900 and connect?
