Open Ssh In Solaris

I hope someone out there can help. I'm trying to install & configure Openssh to my Solaris. I downloaded & Installed the following pkgs :

I'm having a terrible time configuring Openssh on my servers.

I downloaded & Installed the following pkgs :
openssh-4.4p1-sol8-sparc-local.gz
openssl-0.9.8d-sol8-sparc-local.gz
tcp_wrappers-7.6-sol8-sparc-local.gz
zlib-1.2.1-sol8-sparc-local.gz
libgcc-3.4.6-sol8-sparc-local.gz

Along with recommended Patch 112438-03 as recommended.

I gunzipped them & added the pkgs.

I did the following:
mkdir /var/empty
chown root:sys /var/empty
chmod 755 /var/empty
groupadd sshd
useradd -g sshd -c 'sshd privsep' -d /var/empty -s /bin/false sshd

When I attempted to generate the key by doing the following :
cd /usr/local/bin
./ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key -N ""
./ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key -N ""
./ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -N ""

I got an error message : ssh-keygen not found.


On my other server, I tried the same thing, I also added the ssh script &

chmod 744 sshd
cd /etc/rc3.d
mv S89sshd _S89sshd.old
ln -s /etc/init.d/sshd S89sshd
cd ../rc2.d/
mv K03sshd _K03sshd.old
ln -s /etc/init.d/sshd K03sshd

/etc/init.d/sshd.old stop
/etc/init.d/sshd start

AND STILL GOT AN ERROR MESSAGE.............................................

Can anyone tell me why I'm getting the ssh-keygen error & what else I could do..I'll really appreciate it.


Thanks,
Remi

SSH-KEYSIGN(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					    SSH-KEYSIGN(8)

NAME
ssh-keysign -- ssh helper program for host-based authentication SYNOPSIS
ssh-keysign DESCRIPTION
ssh-keysign is used by ssh(1) to access the local host keys and generate the digital signature required during host-based authentication with SSH protocol version 2. ssh-keysign is disabled by default and can only be enabled in the global client configuration file /etc/ssh/ssh_config by setting EnableSSHKeysign to ``yes''. ssh-keysign is not intended to be invoked by the user, but from ssh(1). See ssh(1) and sshd(8) for more information about host-based authen- tication. FILES
/etc/ssh/ssh_config Controls whether ssh-keysign is enabled. /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key These files contain the private parts of the host keys used to generate the digital signature. They should be owned by root, read- able only by root, and not accessible to others. Since they are readable only by root, ssh-keysign must be set-uid root if host- based authentication is used. /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key-cert.pub /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key-cert.pub /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key-cert.pub If these files exist they are assumed to contain public certificate information corresponding with the private keys above. SEE ALSO
ssh(1), ssh-keygen(1), ssh_config(5), sshd(8) HISTORY
ssh-keysign first appeared in OpenBSD 3.2. AUTHORS
