I've just compiled lsh-0.9 on bos1.gnu.org. Basically

  $ ./configure && make
  # make install
  # lsh_keygen | lsh_writekey /etc/lsh_host_key

Hostkey fingerprint is 

  6bfb6c28fed188bdba433053c39f00cc2b1573b4

Paranoid users will want to log in using kerberos, compute this
fingerprint themselves using

  $ sexp_conv --raw-hash < /etc/lsh_host_key.pub

and have it handy when running

  $ lsh --sloppy-host-authentication bos1.gnu.org

from any other machine. It seems to work; I managed to login using
publickey authentication.

I'll probably kill the lshd process before I log out. If anybody can
figure out how to write a proper startscript for it, that would be
great. The file
/gnu/users/nisse/build/lsh-0.9/contrib/lshd.rhlinux.init might provide
some clues, but I don't know how much redhat and debian differs.

A manual draft is installed in /usr/local/info/lsh.info, but it seems
not to be on emacs' info-dir list.
