Erick, Hi, thanks for the help, but I get this error whenever I try to start sshd with the keys I made using that command... I am probably just unaware of something simple but... error: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key: Bad file descriptor Disabling protocol version 1 error: Could not load DSA host key: /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key Disabling protocol version 2 sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting. sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
