ssh issue on hp-ux 11.0

[Nyck_1]

I have an old J5600 which seems to have ssh installed but not quite configured correctly. When I attempt to start the sshd it fails with the following message:-

/usr/local/sbin/sshd &
[1] 29914
(garion) loncons7:/usr/local/etc# Could not load host key: /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key
Could not load host key: /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
Could not load host key: /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.

I have run a search and these keys do not exist, can someone remind me of the syntax for ssh-keygen?

I have done this on Solaris but not on HP-UX.

shalom,

ssh-keygen -t dsa

or

ssh-keygen -t rsa



Make sure ownership of the home directory is the user and perms match a working system.
