In addition to that which guitarlynn mentions, notice that this process -- generating the key -- is *extremely* cpu intensive! The reverse process -- using the key during authentication -- is many orders of magnitude faster! So, if at all possible, generate the key on a faster box, especially if your firewall is running a 486. There is nothing system specific to the generated keys, except hostname that can be edited later, in the resulting output. In my case, my DCD is a 486dx50 -- generating keys on a pentium pro 200 was at least twenty (20) times faster and the resulting keys are working flawlessly on the 486 . . .
