Help with exporting keys
Hi,
In our department's setup we have a unfortunate situation where we have to
use both OpenSSH and SSH (ssh.com's version). I have managed to export keys
from OpenSSH to SSH's format. I also managed to export SSH's public key to
OpenSSH's format. Now I would like to add the private key of SSH to the
agent. Now when I try to add it simply by using

SecureCRT, OpenSSH, and keys
Hello all.  I have been searching the web for a formula to get openssh and securecrt ssh2 keys working properly.  Does anyone have a set of directions?
I have attempted creating keys in securecrt and converting them (ssh-keygen) to OpenSSH keys.  I have attempted using OpenSSH's keys, but nothing seems to take.  Any advice will help.  Thank you.

Problems building host keys on some SPARCs
Hi,
I've compiled openssh 1.2.2 on Solaris 7/SPARC.  On most hosts, things
are fine.  I get EGD going, compile openssh, and I can then generate 
hostkeys as described in the INSTALL file to get things running.  
On a few hosts though, the keygen fails like this:
root at sylow:/source/USR_LOCAL/OFFICIAL/OPENSSH/ssh_client# ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N ''

[patch] ssh-keygen(1): generate Ed25519 keys when invoked without arguments
Dear all,
Ed25519 public keys being as small as they are is very convenient.
There is an opportunity to nudge the world towards modern algorithms.
I believe choices made in OpenSSH can positively impact the wider
eco-system and industry. I'd like to suggest ssh-keygen to generate an
Ed25519 keypair, if invoked without any arguments.
OpenSSH has supported Ed25519 since version 6.5 (January

Out of interest, did you, perchance, try running an ssh-keygen -l on a 
DSA-infested file?

[PATCH] document inability to change v2 keys' comments with ssh-keygen
Hi,
ssh-keygen is unable to change version 2 keys' comments (this was true
in 2.9p2, and the changelog doesn't make me think this has changed),
so I think this should be documented. Here's a patch to ssh-keygen.1
(It's based on an ssh-keygen patched with my previous patch).
Cheers,
Matthew

ssh-keygen can't recognize its own keys?
I'm trying to move from SSH1 to OpenSSH 2.9.9p2, under Solaris 8.  Initial
setup and testing seems to work...  including the generation of a new
RSA key.  The key was created with "ssh-keygen -t rsa" and a passphrase;
nothing unusual.
I can SSH between machines, both running 2.9.9p2, and debug messages show
that this file is being correctly read (I think).  It prompts me for the

conversions:

  - convert a commercial private key into an OpenSSH private key,
    provided that the commercial key has no password

Generating DSA keys of different length
