Description Alan Cummings 2015-09-26 04:30:51 UTC 
When I run /usr/sbin/sshd -t I get this:
> /usr/sbin/sshd -t
bad addr or host: :: (hostname nor servname provided, or not known)

I have tried rebooting and changing the hostname. The result is the same whether the -t flag is present or not. Other services (nginx, webmin) still work. The sshd service used to work until about a day ago. There have been changes to the networking, such as switching from fixed IP to DHCP, moving to a DMZ, but no new ports or packages shave been installed recently.

If I try to start as a service, I get this:
> service sshd start
Performing sanity check on sshd configuration.
bad addr or host: :: (hostname nor servname provided, or not known)
/etc/rc.d/sshd: WARNING: failed precmd routine for sshd

The output of uname -a:
