Hello,
I have installed OpenSSH_2.9p2 on a SPARC 20 running Solaris 2.6.
I have generated 3 keys 

ssh-keygen -t dsa -f /etc/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
ssh-keygen -f /etc/local/etc/ssh_host_key            
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f /etc/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key   

here is a snip of my sshd_config

Port 22
#Protocol 2,1
#ListenAddress 0.0.0.0
#ListenAddress ::
HostKey /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key
HostKey /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
ServerKeyBits 768
LoginGraceTime 600
KeyRegenerationInterval 3600
PermitRootLogin yes

this is the error I get when I attempt to start the daemon:

# ./sshd -d
debug1: Seeded RNG with 28 bytes from programs
debug1: Seeded RNG with 3 bytes from system calls
debug1: sshd version OpenSSH_2.9p2

Disabling protocol version 1. Could not load host key
Disabling protocol version 2. Could not load host key
sshd: no hostkeys available -- exiting.
debug1: writing PRNG seed to file //.ssh/prng_seed

I have searched for PEM details with Google but can't seem to find any
answers in relation to this error. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
