do you recommend rsa or dsa?
also, it seem to ask me for a file to save to and a passphrase:
# ssh-keygen -t dsa
Generating public/private dsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_dsa): /etc/ssh_host_dsa_key
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
at this point i control d'ed out of it; doesn't feel right. why would it ask
me what file to write to and why would it ask me for a passphrase?
before i go on, i just want to make sure -- is this what i want?
thanks, henry!
