first login via ssh not possible

[jba]

Just started my new odroid HC2 with armbian (Armbian_21.08.1_Odroidxu4_buster_current_5.4.142). However, I could not log in via ssh. I got the message

 

kex_exchange_identification: read: Connection reset by peer
Connection reset by 192.168.0.89 port 22

The reason was, that in /etc/sshd_config PubkeyAuthentication was enabled. After commenting out I was able to login via ssh.

 

I think this should be corrected as it makes no sense. Or at least the documentation should be changed (it says you can do your first login via ssh).

Until this is not confirmed, its not even a bug. I agree that SSH login should work. It works even via serial console(s), but things can and do break down ...
