I have exactly the same problem mentioned in this thread.

I have done everything mentioned in the thread, and here's where I'm at: (it worked fine before some regular update broke it)

I had the same problem.
openssh-7.xxx (screwed up) by disabling ssh-dss key (that is what
nxserver is using).
Trying to enable the "ssh-dss" via sshd_config does not work!

So the only way to go about it is to downgrade to openssh-6.xxx

That's not what the error message you posted said.

Which you would expect if that was not the problem. From memory, I think
your problem was caused by password logins as root being disabled. That
was another change for 7.0 and my only comment on that is "why the hell
did they wait until version 7.0 before getting rid of such and insecure
default?".

I can connect using openssh-6 but not 7-xx

Because the setting is commented out so it falls back to the default,
which is yes in 6 and no in 7. Set it to what you need instead of relying
on defaults which can change.

Also, check your *uncommented* setting for PermitEmptyPasswords, if for some 
reason you have not set up a password for your NX account.  The default is no.

Yes, nxserver works with openssh-7; I don't know why I couldn't make it
to work during upgrade few weeks ago :-/

I take it to try this you edit /etc/sshd_config then restart the sshd service?

The log I see says its not using the password but the key. I have regenerated the key but it didn't help. This setup has been fine for years. Could there be key *types* which became invalid, or now need special configuration, which was caused by the OpenSSL update?

Yes, DSS keys are now disabled by default, but can be re-enabled if
really needed. See http://www.openssh.com/legacy.html

However, if nx is ignoring your SSH config, I'm not sure how you can tell
it to use

Where is the information from the *server* log.

Thanks for your hep and patience!
I want to report the full log.
I see the log file at /var/log/nx/nxserver.log is always 0 bytes. 
To try to enable it I changed the entry in /etc/nxserver/node.conf NX_LOG_LEVEL=0 to NX_LOG_LEVEL=6 but it still creates the 0 length log file.

I meant the log for the SSH server, on the machine you are trying to
connect to, not the nx log. On the SSH server, run

grep sshd /var/log/messages
