This is a question for the openssh site, www.openssh.org. However, as I'm feeling friendly, I'll answer your question.
Indeed, RSA keys are generated by ssh-keygen as a default. These are only of use for SSH version 1. Version 2 uses DSA keys, so you use "ssh-keygen -t dsa". If you don't give a passphrase, you can copy the contents of the id_dsa.pub to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys on the remote server, chmod this file to 600, chmod the .ssh directory to 700 and then ssh should let you in with this key from that host rather than via a password. - John Airey, BSc (Jt Hons), CNA, RHCE Internet systems support officer, ITCSD, Royal National Institute of the Blind, Bakewell Road, Peterborough PE2 6XU, Tel.: +44 (0) 1733 375299 Fax: +44 (0) 1733 370848 [EMAIL PROTECTED] If we could learn one thing from September 11th 2001, it would be the utter absurdity of moral relativism. > -----Original Message----- > From: rmckee [mailto:rmckeever@;earthlink.net] > Sent: 15 November 2002 16:38 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: regenerate a host-specific ? > > > Hello, > > I was wondering how do you regenerate a host-specific RSA key > on unix with > ssh.
