I have never setup or used ssh before, always was rlogin/telnet or ftp. I look like I have it installed but when I type in as user /usr/sbin/sshd I get: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/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.
Of course I have no idea what this means, avoided pgp like the plague. Did type in ssh-keygen and got some stuff in $HOME/.ssh but no idea what to do with it now. Have read the SxS but it seems to be for ssh not the daemon. So I want someone to access the site and login from the net , so what do I do ?? Cannot see if its running from ps -aux no pid shown. type in /usr/sbin/sshd from root and get a prompt back no messages. Need help here, just do not understand it and the instructions are way above my head. -- Keith Antoine aka 'skippy' 18 Arkana St, The Gap, Queensland 4061 Australia PH:61733002161 Retired Geriatric, Sometime Electronics Engineer, Knowall, Brain in storage _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
