Motorola BSR 2000 manual Ssh-keygen2, Bits

Release 1.0 Secure Shell Server Commands

ssh-keygen2

The ssh-keygen2tool generates authentication key files for the BSR 2000 Secure Shell Server. Host keys are required for the SSH Server and can either be generated in the BSR 2000 or generated on another BSR and copied over.

Note: The SSH Server must be disabled on the BSR 2000 before running the ssh-keygen2 tool.

Caution: The BSR 2000 Secure Shell Server only accepts host key files generated with the ssh-keygen2 tool. Keys files generated using the OpenSSH ssh-keygen tool will not work with the BSR 2000 Secure Shell Server.

The ssh-keygen2 tool resolves interoperability problems associated with OpenSSH. A key file must be generated using the ssh-keygen2 tool for the BSR 2000 Secure Shell Server to interoperate properly with OpenSSH Secure Shell clients.
