Base: Regenerate your host keys

Base Nav: first previous next last All Tab 2 spacer

The private keys that are included with the distribution should be regenerated for use.

Run these commands:

/bin/rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* &&
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N '' &&
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -d -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key -N '' &&
/usr/bin/ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ''

The output should look something like this:
