Thank you for the help, I think I hadn't done a reboot. I saw sshd starting during the boot I believe.
What else would I need to do to be able to use my MacBook to ssh to the openbsd system? My domain is <hostname>.my.domain. On my MacBook I type ssh <hostname>.my.domain and after awhile it returns operation timed out. Im really just starting to try to learn UNIX and computing as you can see. Any help is much appreciated.

However, that is run at every boot by /etc/rc (it only generates keys if there are no existing keys), so I would guess either a) you haven't rebooted yet or b) something is wrong with your system that is preventing these files from getting created. You don't need "sshd_flags" in /etc/rc.conf.local unless you want to change the default set in /etc/rc.conf. -- Matthew Weigel hacker unique & idempot . ent
