SSH - Secure Shell

SSH - Host Keys

The key filenames are as follows:

ssh_host_rsa_key	Private RSA key (version 2)
ssh_host_rsa_key.pub	Public RSA key (version 2)
ssh_host_dsa_key	Private DSA key (version 2)
ssh_host_dsa_key.pub	Public DSA key (version 2)
ssh_host_key	Private RSA key (version 1)
ssh_host_key.pub	Public RSA key (version 1)

You do not normally need to build the keys.

OpenSSH does this for you.

However, if you want to use ssh-agent, you need to know how to create keys.
