SSH and config.....
Hi all!

I'm new to the SSh concept, and i'm supposed to install SSH over 400 servers.
I found out how to generate all the keys and the passphrases ( you'll say that ain't that hard!).
But now, i just can't get the thing to start. I started sshd on both of my test servers, and on one of 'em, i get the following error message:
couldn't read entropy commands file /opt/openssh2/etc/ssh_prng_cmds: No such file or directory. What use is there to this file, and how do i create it?
I have another question, how do i generate the sshd_config file?

I'd be grateful for any help...
Thanx to all.....

Both of these files should be included in your SSH distribution. The ssh_prng_cmds file contains commands which can be run to gather entropy. You should not try to create it by hand, rather copy it from the distribution. "make install" should create both of these for you if you are installing from the source tarball.
