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.

Thanks again
