 Every time?
 

first, i mistyped, sorry... (cut and pasted the wrong thing)... i run
'ssh-keygen -t dsa'

and this doesn't happen all the time.  it happens about half the time i
try generating a keypair.

 How about when you do a long compile? (build a kernel or
 make world)
 
 If it is not every time, and the same thing happens sometimes
 during a long build, I suspect hardware problems. (probably
 memory)

as far as i can remember, i've never had reboot issues with compiling the
kernel.

 
 If it is only ssh-keygen, and it is every single time... hmm.
 
 Maybe a corrupted ssh-keygen binary, or libcrypto or libc?
 If this is a fresh install from a CD, you might try re-installing
 (upgrading) the bin and crypto distributions.

is there any way to localize the exact cause of the reboot?

2003-02-20 Thread Bsd Neophyte
while trying to get this key-pair authentication system going, i noticed
something pretty strange.  for some reason when i run 'ssh-keygen -t rsa'
my system reboots.

is there any reason that this is happening?  how can i prevent this from occuring?

Not that i know the reason, but...

Hey, where is the truth in advertising?  In subject, you wrote
/dsa/ but above you refer to /rsa/.
