openssh unix dev - Jun 2002 - please assist

Mr. Lindstrom,

I am trying to upgrade from ssh1 to ssh2.  I am getting the following error when
I start sshd:

Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key

SSHD does start, however, ssh1 is functional, but ssh2 is not.

Please advise,

William

You need to create your ssh2 keys. refer to 'man sshd' and 'man
ssh-keygen'

William:

    You need an SSH2 private key(for historical and technical reasons,
ssh2's default key algorithm is not compatible with ssh1's).  Find the
directory containing your sshd_config (/etc/ssh on redhat, /usr/local/etc on
a standard ./configure; make; make install), and run the following command
in that directory as root:

    ssh-keygen -t dsa -f ssh_host_dsa_key

    Now start SSHD; it'll work fine.
