Hello! I have now created the host key and put it in /etc in a file /ssh_host_key But when i run sshd as a root it says: error: fatal: Could not load host key: /etc/ssh_host_key. Check path and permissions I don't know what gives - I did ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh_host_key -N mypassword This was done as a suid root. Did I do something wrong ?
