If you run it via xinetd, you shouldn't need to generate any host keys
initially. You would of course want to generate soon.

Afternoon people. I'm wondering if anyone can aid me with a small problem I
have..
I have just installed OpenSSH2.9p2 (from the RH7.2 RPM's) and configured
the config file to my liking. However I don't have any host key files.
SSHd won't run unless they are present witin the specified directory. Is
there a way to generate a host key.. or am I missing something here?

Thanks in advance.
