How does one manually create these files: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key sshd asks for them, then craps out because they're not there. A reboot usually forces them to be created upon startup; but in this particular system's case a reboot is not warranted, (and really would kill the `uptime-o-meter`), so I'd like to create them by entering the commands to create the files as the system would during startup. To further complicate things, the system is running a 4.1-STABLE snapshot, with various portions of 4.3-RELEASE; so I'm not even sure if a reboot will get ssh to work. In short; just want to make sshd work from a machine without needing to reboot to create cert files... need to know how? -- Nathan Vidican Nathan@Vidican.com http://Nathan.Vidican.com/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
