Add 'sshd_flags=' to /etc/rc.conf.local.
The host keys are generated on first run by ssh-keygen(1), called
from rc(8) if /etc/ssh/ssh_hos_{rsa,dsa}_key doesn't exist. You can
create them manually, if you want to, just dig through /etc/rc until
you see ssh_keygen called to find out how.

If I'm not mistaken [1], you will only see a change in /etc/rc.conf.local if you select 'no' for starting sshd by default. To the OP: On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 11:28 AM, elflord woods [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: and then i add enable_sshd=YES in /etc/rc.local The flag name should probably be sshd_flags and not enable_sshd. When in doubt: look at /etc/rc.conf, but be sure to save changes to /etc/rc.conf.local to survive upgrades, etc. If you do not see sshd(8) starting upon reboot yet have selected 'yes', you would do best to check your logs and see where the problem is. Did you change any files relating to sshd? but then it complains that it could not load host key What message are you getting w.r.t. the host keys? Report what errors you see instead of letting others guess. If e.g. you are trying to write to a read-only location, the (logs of the) boot up sequence may give useful clues.
