Re: sshd starting errors


This is OpenSSH 4.4 on Solaris 8.
Any idea what's going on?

As it says at the bottom, you have no hostkeys. Use ssh-keygen to
generate some, and put them in the default location, here probably
/usr/local/etc/ssh_host_{dsa,rsa}_key{.pub}


#/etc/init.d ./sshd start
3 SSHD: Generating DSA host key...
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
/usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key already exists.

Your identification has been saved in /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key.
Your public key has been saved in /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
