Hi!

I want to generate 4kbit sshd hostkeys.
I looked into /etc/rc.network and found:
# grep /usr/bin/ssh-keygen /etc/rc.network
                        /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -N "" -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
                        /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -d -N "" -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
Hmm, strange, because:
# man ssh-keygen | grep "\-d"
says "Exit 1"

may be something like
*** rc.network,orig     Thu May 16 18:02:59 2002
--- rc.network  Thu May 16 18:04:07 2002

                if [ ! -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key ]; then
                        echo ' creating ssh RSA host key';
!                       /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -N "" -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
                fi
                if [ ! -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key ]; then
                        echo ' creating ssh DSA host key';
!                       /usr/bin/ssh-keygen -d -N "" -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
                fi
                ;;
        esac

                fi
                ;;
        esac

with
sshd_keylength=1024
in /etc/defaults/rc.conf will be good idea?
